My personal experience is this: I love building stuff. I love the web. For a long time I loved React/Vue but over time I began to worry about desktop, mobile, PWA, future-proofing and found myself way over-thinking MVP and proof-of-concepts stacks. I tried and tried to limit my scope but found it was really hard to have discipline. Should it be CRA or Next.js? They are both awesome so I can't really decide. Should I use react-native-web so that I can put out mobile apps? How important is being in the app store? Etc, etc, etc.
One weekend not too long ago, I started a Rails app with Hotwire and found myself wonderfully, nostalgically productive again. Maybe I'm old, maybe I'm burnt out but I can tell you one thing: I'm having fun and building neat, performant, and fast web apps. I hope that speaks for itself when I look for my next job.

I always missed s way to do "components" server side instead of including chunks of templates, and recently found slippers, which for me completes tht 1% I wa smissing https://unpoly.com https://unpoly.com https://mitchel.me/slippers/ https://mitchel.me/slippers/
