Plan HTML, CSS, and JS — for a fairly small website — never gets out of date, never expires, never uses a build tool I forget how to use.

A previous colleague of mine showed me his personal website and it was just this -- a picture of him, his resume, super basic styling and no JS. He was a very skilled front end engineer so I remember being taken back until he explained why.

I thought about that for a long time and now as I have more experience dealing with npm packages, broken updates, new frameworks etc. I believe it makes a lot of sense.

Assuming you don't enjoy maintaining things like that 😄
