I've run into this recently when trying to launch a new site after being away from web design for nearly 15 years (i.e. since smartphones). The tools, expectations, and target devices are so different now. After looking at the Source of most sites these days, I'm honestly surprised that anything works at all. What can seem to be a simple site on the surface might contain dozens if not hundreds of pages of attached code. Gone are the days where sites used just a few pages of HTML+CSS to display everything. It's rare to find a site designed in the past 3 years and to view the source and think "someone definitely hand coded this" and even more unlikely to find a site that loads less than 1MB of resources these days -- even an old school site like Slashdot is >5MB now. That's insane.
