One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that while the developer experience is getting more complex, the user experience is getting better and better.
That, in my opinion, makes all the messiness worth it. I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with the state of web dev now, but it's not without reason that we are here today.
Remember the days of table-based layouts in HTML? shudder
- some-guy 10y agoI don't think the complexity of the web caused better UX. I think we just happen to care a lot more about UX in 2016 than we used to in this industry.
- altern8tif 10y agoSure, but caring a lot about UX necessitates pushing the envelope when it comes to web tech. If we were satisfied with our HTML tables, we would never have moved on to jQuery, HTML5/CSS3, React etc.
