Feels like I constantly complain about this but man do I hate 2026-era web development stacks!!!
I often find myself looking at a project website that's serving less than a dozen static documents to the end user... why am I looking at Vite and a build process at all???
It's like looking at a McDonald's franchise supply chain (warehouses, trucks, repeatability) and saying, "Yes, that is the appropriate setup for my home kitchen, just in case I one day need to scale it to a worldwide franchise."
@darius for me it’s just easier to stay in the stack i know and use for bigger projects. I’m also not a fan of how complicated everything got but picking another (even if simpler) thing to do docs doesn’t help my mental load 🥲
@oberhamsi yeah, I suspect this is often the path to this kind of thing. But I think it's unwise.
@darius if it makes it easier on you theoretically... but if it doesn't, then no point.
for 12 static docs i would just write the html by hand tbh and throw it behind any http server
@darius Amen to that!
This is a huge barrier to entry for most people new to programming and new to the Open Social Web. The fact that you can just handwave it all away with an LLM does not fully solve it, but it helps.
