And those sites often had personality and whimsy. Now we got our wish to lay out stuff however we want, and it turns out our imagination is indistinguishable for the average LLM output, all beige gray and devoid of soul.

There's also the issue that web components are eager. Once it's in the DOM, and upgraded, it will cause an endless cascade of requests for every import inside. I don't know if they fixed it, but when reddit rewrote their menu

Support for anything web components-related is a death by a thousand cuts both for the browsers and for the framework authors. For the browsers: Shadow dom breaks almost literally everything. It's a parallel world that exists on its ow

Unfortunately, with LLMs you have to write these tests for every little thing. And then there's the endless code duplication, reinventing of existing code and libraries etc.
