Wow, that was so on point.

That hit hard. I was reassigned to an old project from 5 years ago with an archaic framework, to refactor all the code to the "new shinny JS framework". Ironically, I was in the team that built it 5 years ago. It is dreadful. Rinse and repeat.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong when I advocate against projects that need 50,000 files and a 2-minute build when you could just do with HTML/CSS, native JavaScript and a simple CRUD backend.
