Web development used to have a RAD experience in the ages of PHP 4/ASP Classic and Dreamweaver.
For better or worse, we lost this capability in the path for code purity, RESTful services and SPAs.

- rescbr 3y agoThat’s why I said for better or worse :) In a way I disagree with you. On accessibility: I see more custom components that nobody cares to make it properly working with keyboard interaction compared to native HTML input components. On standards - mixed feelings: we had XHTML, now we don’t. We had IE and jQuery to deal with it, now we don’t need it, but I still see many places that have the old “works best with” message, now with Chrome instead. On maintainable code: it’s a different shit show, we exchanged spaghetti code for billions of npm dependencies that break if you dare to try and upgrade something.
- g-b-r 3y agoYeah you're not wrong, I'd stop half way around 2005, or maybe in the alternate world where the whatwg, Chrome etc never happened ;)
