You don't have to use 'Modern Frameworks' (aka an ahistorical mish-mash of Javascript frameworks) to do web development at all. I'm really puzzled as to why people refer to this as modern web development.
If you're looking for a sane tech stack there are plenty of languages to use which are not javascript and plenty of previous frameworks to look at.
Very little javascript is needed for a useful and fluid front-end experience and the back end can be whatever you like.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoWell, I wish more developers had your insight and could make it heard at their jobs. Then the web would be in a better state than it is today.
- lovethevoid 2y agoVast majority of the web's downfalls stem from advertising and tracking. Unless you're proposing a way to remove advertising, then the problems will remain no matter what tech the developers opted for.
- mdhb 2y agoYou are conflating two entirely different issues. Both are true but neither at the expense of the other
- lovethevoid 2y agoThey aren't entirely different issues at all and are quite tightly interwoven. It doesn't matter how many ms you shave off by using/not using react when your page loads a full screen video ad and has 50MB of trackers to aid in its quest to access personal info.
- jay_kyburz 2y agoOne is a tech problem, the other is a business problem. There are no ads on my websites.
- mdhb 2y agoThey are very literally different issues.
- xnx 2y agoAbsolutely true. All technologies that previously existed (e.g. PHP3 + MySQL) still exist. Unfortunately, if you're looking to make use of other people's libraries, it is very difficult to find them for "obsolete" stacks.
- grey-area 2y agoI disagree, there are plenty of libraries out there for most languages, and people should be more cautious if anything about importing code.
