    Classic HN conversation here. "The web is too complex! All these web frameworks are too complicated!" "Okay, what do you suggest instead?" "I'd just use [completely unmaintainable technology from the 90s that is no longer supported by its vendor]" "Okay, how would you approach [basic feature of the web framework]?" "Stop moving the goalposts!" Come on, you could at least come up with some hand-waving about cache headers and CDNs.

      You missed the classic, "I did this back in the 90s using x and it was more powerful and sane compared to any of this new malarkey"
