> some incredibly shocking statistics
I recently had a discussion with some "web developers" that just... couldn't understand how a web application could interact with the server without JavaScript and a REST API. They had never heard of traditional web forms! They didn't even know that was an option.
That blew my mind.

- MonkeyClub 2y agoA definite +1 on HTMX, which removes a lot of the necessity for frontend stuff for most simple and semi-complex use cases.
- hilti 2y agoI wonder how these „web developers“ react, if they discover secret sauces like SSE, the „disabled“ attribute of <input> elements and SSI (server side includes) I‘d love to be in the same room, when they edit their packages.json, spin up Docker just to create a basic CRUD form LOL
