Vue is way too underappreciated in this React-dominated world.

Monetization always involves value subtraction. So does careerism. Bloat and other forms of intentional signal degradation (for the prevention of anyone getting a freebie) will always outpace Moore's Law.

Why are you asking me? How should I know? Hey here's a suggestion, how about not in the same room, because science (and anyone who's had to sit next to Loud Janice from marketing) says it's bad for you regardless of what kind of keyboard you use?

If the theme here is going from a bad office environment to a worse one, though, there's always having everybody and their mechanical keyboards pile into a clown car:

Why are you all in the same room, anyway?

Modern web development is broken. We spend too much energy on tools and building globally rendered apps that have server/client states.

Developers now learn frameworks, but the reality is JS is getting so good, we may not need them as much.

Bottom line, users devices still take a long time to parse JavaScript, but developers are a little isolated with fancy dev machines to see how poor the site loads for many. When a bundle size blocks a quality application, it really makes me wonder why we force presentational component into JS bundles and hydrate state for then.
