One thing I've found is that things used to be a lot simpler. We've added tons of complexity in the last 15 years, but the fundamentals of web pages and the UI controls in them largely have stayed the same. We've largely moved backwards. And what's worse, I can't even hire junior devs who know how to do things the old simple way anymore. It's framework or bust now.
