The State of Web Development: A Frustrating Mess

The state of web development has become a frustrating mess, with complexity and over-engineering running rampant. Every day, it seems like there's a new framework, library, or tool that promises to solve all our problems, but only ends up adding to the noise.

We've lost sight of the fact that the web is supposed to be simple. We're building websites, not rocket ships. And yet, we're expected to be experts in a dozen different technologies, each with its own steep learning curve. The result is a web that's slow, bloated, and inaccessible to many users.

I'm tired of the endless stream of "solutions" that only serve to make our jobs harder. I'm tired of the conferences, the meetups, and the blog posts that tout the latest and greatest technology as the answer to all our prayers. I'm tired of the isolation, the fragmentation, and the ego-driven decision-making that's crippling our industry.

We need to take a step back and remember why we started building the web in the first place. We wanted to create something simple, something accessible, and something beautiful. We wanted to make the world a better place, one website at a time.

So, let's simplify. Let's focus on the basics. Let's build websites that work, that are fast, and that are accessible to everyone. Let's ditch the unnecessary complexity and get back to what matters: creating a better web for all of us.
