Is... is it bad that I think that might not actually be so bad? I never had an issue with full page reloads of a damn blog, but somehow it's all SPA garbage these days and all the sites have errors in one or more browsers but miraculously keep chugging along (except when they don't and there's a blank page).

At least in the old days if CSS or JS didn't load, you still got a semi-usable page.

Turning HTML+CSS+JS into an application platform has been one of the most fundamentally stupid things we've done as a field and we'll keep paying for it for years on end, second only to not adding slices to C.

This but unironically.

The web was a much better place 10 years ago.

Totally agree with this, actually.
