>open website

why are they like this? isn't it legitimately easier and faster to just use html and css? what are the benefits of bloatmaxxing?

don't tell me you're referring to the source in your browser? you do realize that most websites are server rendered, right? you seriously cannot be THAT retarded

Nobody cares, retard!
ofc, most websites now even the simple ones uses frameworks and are overengineered by a lot, and nobody cares to optimize the space, due the storage availability and its cheap cost! I would do the same, because it saves time and you get better developer experience!
And, as I said, nobody cares, keep seething over your autistic perfectionist optimizist mentall illness!

>we can waste resources, we have a lot of them
Climate change: "Not so fast!"
You do know that the more resource intensive a task is on a computer, the more power it uses right? Gigawatts of power are wasted each year due to inefficient computing. Eventually making computing tasks, including browsing the internet, will have to be made less wasteful whether you like it or not.

Tell me you are no coder, without telling me I've never built a functional web app ever in my life.
you absolutely think, people write every single character rendered in the client side by themselves in every web app.

tell me one reason, why would I sacrifice my amazing great developer experience over some emission of CO2 that'll impact some humans decades after??
I simply don't care, and it does matter what source of energy people are using not what's being used with it

He said a plain HTML like page, not an "app". There was a guy who made a website with recipes with that mindset.

>>100173515
Bloatmaxxed software will always be harder to maintain, especially when the person who initially made it stops working on it and then the next person needs to pick it up. it seems you never worked in a real company with real software

notice to them how it's "some humans" and not "my descendents" or "my community's descendents". This person is cut off from society.

As I said, not my problem of what other engineers will suffer for maintaining the code, all I care about really is my own mental health and my developing experience.
Maintaining web apps that are built using modern frameworks is much more easier and cheaper than maintaining some plain Vanilla JS web app.
Anons are that dumb to reinvent the wheel to feel a little bit special over normalfags.
>>
Haha look at all the indians in this thread getting mad because you pointed out their bloated slop. No way any actual human thinks that bloat is better.

Climate change is fake, and it isn't caused by emission of CO2. The Sun is getting bigger and larger, that's is getting hotter here in earth, it's over and we can't solve this problem without the intervention of some supernatural beings, so it's over! just live your life without thinkmaxxing about sustainability.

you didn't refute this, anon

you don't have an answer, you just want to reinvent the wheel and not innovate

making simple websites isn't reinventing the wheel you fucking retard. millions of people have done it before and you can literally just copy paste some templates together to get a simple, dynamic website. using tons of frameworks and other bloat doesn't magically make development easier unless you have a very niche case and there is a framework for exactly that niche
>>
It's getting more and more ridiculous. I mean I feel bad for using Wordpress for onepagers, and then I look out there only to find onepagers built with fully fleshed out webapp frameworks ...
>>
>>100173760
You don't need JS nor to reinvente the wheel for what OP is talking about, that's why. The simplest thing laid down a long time ago is enough.
>>
>>100173822
if all I needed was one page I'd just use C preprocessor as a templating engine.
>>
>>100173672
thats the thing, you dont need to maintain a vanilla js web app. it just works once it starts working and never stops working because its not made by FAGGOTS with brain damage from engineer's dilemma stress compounding with job insecurity

webshitters have done nothing but reinvent the wheel at the expense of everyone else and their hardware for 20 years now

My whole website is 6.7Mb, is this good?

>tell me one reason, why would I sacrifice my amazing great developer experience over some emission of CO2 that'll impact some humans decades after??

Because once the switch to renewables happens, the power grid will simply be unable to cope with power-hungry hardware all over the place. The future will be low-power and relatively weak ARM or RISC-V computers, usually portable ones, that will not be able to handle Javascript-heavy webpages as well as x86 can without degrading the user experience (i.e. introducing stuttering and lag or intense battery usage.) Thus you will have no choice but to optimize or else you will lose customers.
