In my opinion, there are just a few not so insignificant problems with web tech, not the least of which is that the incredibly serious flaws and limitations of the text-as-data-structures programming model in web tech seems to be a like a perpetual motion machine for technical debt.
I cannot be the only one who is deeply unsettled by the notion that the web tech world is populated by thousands of libraries designed to help paper over incredibly serious problems/limitations with the basic programming model. Even stuff like Angular just exists to help paper over problems that had already been solved in the 1980s.
But yeah, maybe it's cool for doing stuff that's good enough. I can definitely see that!
