> I strongly disagree with that, "modern" web development values beautiful code over almost anything else I would condition this to be: > "modern" web development values beautiful code _that you can see_ over almost anything else I wouldn't call apps that are run by transpiling code into another language so that it can be compiled into something else, that is packaged up and shipped around in a docker 'image' and then run in who-knows-how-many levels of virtualization in someone else's cloud, particularly beautiful. I contrived a painful example, but if we're talking 'beauty' in terms of what you see in your IDE/text editor, then maybe you're right, but in terms of what an application is and how it's used/deployed? No way.
