Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s meaningless.

That's a good thing, we should embrace it more — we should be more driven by gut feelings than "objective" bullshit, that's how you end up with nonsense like megabytes of JS going down the wire in the first place.

But “good vibes” could mean anything, including many megabytes of JS. If the goal is a small bundle size then they could say that.

After several React projects, I recently went “back to the roots” and created an app with server-generated HTML using the ages-old Mustache templates.

For interactivity, I added a bit of HTMX, and to have beautiful forms, I added the web components from Shoelace, all wrapped up in a Vite build.

And I must say that this was a relaxing experience: No complicated React stuff anymore, and the Typescript-based server components on AWS Lambda render the pages within 30 msecs each. AWS DynamoDB powers the data layer.

Feels like 1997 again, but I am Happy with the new stack!
