This is why I don't. Vanilla JS! 0 Dependencies! Let the 1995 revolution begin!

  Nothing wrong with modularizing code or pulling in complicated things as a dependencies. Rewriting the same tools a million times isn't a great world either. The only thing I avoid/take issue with is pulling huge dependencies to use only a tiny part. Like I wouldn't base anything designed like this page in my projects, it pulls in 1 MB of React to dynamically display an image that updates once a day.

  Have fun building anything remotely complex.

    A lot of apps aren’t being built on frameworks that aren’t remotely complex.

    I've had great fun building my canvas element library entirely in Vanilla JS. The work has helped me discover parts of the JS/DOM ecosystem that I never realised even needed to exist.
