I also notice how much longer it takes to build the same crap we built 15 years ago with just html/css/js, and no, projects these days are not more sophisticated. Same old form submissions, but with a monstrosity of a project and crazy rates of devs who wants to constantly upgrade/update/migrate so some newer JS framework :shrugged :evilsmile

Many projects are absolutely more complex than they were 15 years ago. The web is now a space for fully-interactive applications, not just interlinked documents and forms

  I am comparing apples to apples (CRUD to CRUD), not some random websites.

    Okay apples to apples then This is Amazon in 2006 https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/timeline/amazon-2006 https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/timeline/amazon-2006 Now Amazon landing page has: - Omni-search with autocomplete - Dynamic language and region selection - Quick order forms accessible by profile dropdown - Many submenus embedded somewhere on the page - Multiple carousels of content embedded throughout the page Nothing like Amazon's current landing page existed on the web in 2006. Basically everything was just CRUD back then. Simple CRUD applications are becoming increasingly rare
