Would it be rude to recommend a grammar checker? [...]

English isn't my mother tongue, and I do use a basic spell checker. But I have a gut feel that this isn't the topic. What do you mean by grammar checker?

Bring back IRC

Fair point. But very little nitt-picky, right?

The tech bros, or how I like to call the Theos online have a very misguided view, they have a specific interest, and a specific point. Usually to sell something.

From the last almost 15 years in the work I can say that maybe 10% of the products would ever need the JS framework of the day, mostly could be just a static page with some island of interactivity and some over the wire server render.

Things that we learned in 2000s with Ruby on Rails, and yet we reinvented the wheel.

So, it's just sad to see the that current stat is yet broken, the tooling isn't there, and worse, with AI we will have even more on this bad average.

The thing is, a lot of websites don't need to be interactive, or only need to present interactivity to a minority of visitors. Consider Wikipedia, for example. Only a small percentage of people visiting the site are interested in editing anything. The rest shouldn't be burdened with massive quantities of extra downloads for a feature they don't need, want, or use.

Furthermore, you don't need a "modern web framework" to have an interactive site, and most of them seem to be pretty bloated.

The level of technology a site displays should be appropriate to what the site is trying to do. If your site is about services that you need an appointment for, then yes, there should be a booking setup on the site. If you're running a store, you should have a shopping cart. Add as much of an interactive layer as is necessary to do these things, and do them well, but no more than that.

Most of us just want pages to render quickly, stop tracking us unnecessarily, and stop choking our connections and stealing our electricity for stuff that isn't useful to us (or to anyone except depraved corporations).

I'll heavily disagree with you.

All the modern web, using the modern frameworks, for the modern browser, that requires modern hardware, for a modern person... I hove you got the gist just by this phrase.

We can use less and still be usefull. Most of the web is static. The bakery don't need to render a unique page for you just because you are from the same country. The same way that the news feed don't need to regenerate the page every request, it can keep the old news there, until a new post arives, so clean the cache and hit a new one.

Notice that I'm not talking about pages like a mail application, figma or discord. I'm talking about the majority of the web, most are static, won't need this.

Maybe would be a cool thing for ya to look on the small web moviment, it's a pretty interesting idea, and can show that static pages can be cool, even knowing that they aren't the "common place".

Reading the other comments from you I notice this:

Japanese websites are really crap.

This is also racist.
