This text seems like it is stuck in time. I wouldn't be able to do most of the stuff I am doing without libraries and frameworks. It would simply take so much time redoing the same shit that others have done before so I couldn't finish my task at hand and solve the problems I actually care about. Plus, just look at this dudes website. Sure it works just fine but it's nearly impossible to read on my large screen. It feels like it was designed for an older CRT screen and has never been updated since. I wonder how people like this can survive in todays world with the requirements people have on web software. You will sooner or later be out competed by a guy using a web framework.

> Plus, just look at this dudes website. Sure it works just fine but it's nearly impossible to read on my large screen. It feels like it was designed for an older CRT screen and has never been updated since. Using the browser's Reader View mode I can read the website beautifully just fine. In fact, this is my preferred way of reading articles on the web, because I get consistent and controlled styles. > I wonder how people like this can survive in todays world with the requirements people have on web software. You will sooner or later be out competed by a guy using a web framework. Not everyone doing webdev is competing to get a job or gig as a webdev. There are people who makes their own sites for various purposes, i.e. they are their own webdev customers. And if you're suggesting these people to "require more", it looks to me you start to meddle with how they run their business (which might benefit from your suggestions, but also maybe not).
