I feel like a lot of the comments here are from people who either weren't around for, or didn't grow up in, the era where adactio and the wider web dev scene (Zeldman, etc) were the driving force of things on the web.
If you've only been in a world with React & co, you will probably have a more difficult time understanding the point they're contrasting against.
(I'm not even saying that they're right)
- insin 8mo agoI was around for that era (I may have made an involuntary noise when Zeldman once posted something nice about a thing I made), but being averse to "abstraction in general" is a completely alien concept to me as a software developer.
- Klonoar 8mo agoYes, but I'm in so many words stating that that particular era of web dev was notorious for the discussion of "is this software engineering or not". It's just such a different concept/vibe/whatever compared to modern frontend development. Brad Frost is another notable person in this overall space who's written about the changes in the field over the years.
