If you are into #webdev for a long time you probably know this already, but if you are a newcomer there is a chance that you might not be aware so...

Let there be known that #jQuery is still king w3techs.com/technologies/overv

(this is not a trash post on [insert your favorite #js framework here] it is just a data supported statement)

Before starting some project bid evaluations (actually more interesting than it sounds!), Im basking in modest glory of my dev efforts to develop the fantastic Tiny FIle Manager. I added a drop down to the file meta info, tidied up the actions menu. I implemented a locally hosted ViewerJs that pulls filepath dynamically and extended iframe height using window.inner height js, so responsive.

Baby tech hacky but groovy and useful 😎

Oy gevalt, how do these kids do it?

Jumping into #webdevelopment many years later, after having left behind a pretty substantial CSS2 pedigree, when #HTML was all you had and #JQuery was all the rage, I've come to the conclusion that we've gone too far - again.

I learned a little #TailwindCSS, but now I'm looking into #UnoCSS. I'm building a #Vite app, but some people have implemented #Nuxt AND #Astro with it?

You people are nuts. Leave me alone!

Grumble, grumble, grumble...

Thinking about the wasteful nature of #LLMs got me thinking about waste in my own development. While it can be convenient to use the large, enterprise-grade frameworks to deliver a minimalist website in 2025 - it's absurd.

Do I really need #laravel with #react, #jquery, #tailwind, #webFonts, #postgres to host some simple #markdown?

Do I need to re-render a bunch of static content at every hit? Does every simple article require 64 connections to the server to display?

I think not.

I want my material to be available to anyone who wants it - regardless of the device they are using or the robustness of their connection.

I want to respect users who disable #javascript for their personal protection.

I want to respect #ScreenReaders and users of assistive technology, without unnecessary complexity.

Everything we need is built into the HTML and CSS specs.
