The more I deal with it, the more I hate React, and the very idea that websites must require Javascript to just show HTML.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Jokes aside, everything has its place. You're still allowed to hate it though. For example, I hate Redux because everyone uses it for every React app and it's got boilerplate up the wazoo.

Just know that if you "hate" things, though, you won't learn as much in life, like I won't learn how to use time travel debugging. Almost anything that gets this popular has at least a few core ideas we should probably learn, or learn from.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How do you figure?

I call this the 'Rails Paradox'... a lot of people invested into Rails and wrote a lot of software that powers small businesses. As people exited Rails, the cost of maintenance has gone up... since you have to pay a lot to get someone writing Rails now.

If it weren't for Rails then maybe those small businesses would not be as successful as they are and wouldn't be around now.

Rails is definitely more niche but it's still a great framework IMHO and it's not dead. Still gets feature updates to this day.

It's funny because scrolling in this article is a stuttery mess (Firefox on Linux).

Yeah, this made my whole browser lag (buttons-shading-five-seconds-after-hover-level lag).

FireFox Quantum on Windows 10 with a pretty badass CPU. Also slow in Opera. Also slow in Vivaldi.

And it crashed Chrome Canary.

For a web-tech post, this is pretty fucking bad.

Is there a way to cutdown the bloat?
