> A lot of stuff now being used to accelerate web development simply wasn't mature enough, back then. I think web development is speedy, and it also was fairly speedy in the 2000s, too. The web, on the other hand, not so much, and much of it is bloated and hampered by abstraction layers to an indecent degree. JS doesn't help, either. Something took a wrong turn at a point and the immature, but potentially capable technologies we had degenerated into today's clusterfuck.
