I love web dev because the community is willing to address problems; engineering follows product in a tight feedback loop. Developer experience becomes a target to optimize for, and not just the overall ROI. In almost every other CS/software field save for machine learning, reinventing the wheel is a privilege reserved for large corporations. If you ever worked in the embedded space (or talked to engineers who did) or even a non-IT industry, it is obvious that many fundamental protocols and technologies never changed since the days "their grandpappy did it". Web may move fast but the UX is constantly improving and the value delivered is increasing every day; there is a very good reason why people from almost every other industry is trying to get into software engineering. Even if you don't like the current JS stack, there is nothing stopping you from pulling a Figma and building everything from scratch in WebAssembly, after all, game developers (before Unity) do it all the time. Show me a burnt-out web developer and I will show you ten hardware/mechanical/electronic engineers who would give their arms and legs for the ease of tooling and the large salary of web devs. You are being paid 6-7 figures to debug a bunch of UI code in a high level scripting language, and your biggest complaint is that the churn is too bad?
