Disappointing to see it with tires this big, translating into lower efficiency and less usable interior space

> I’m going to skip the drama and just use htmx for the client-side. Render Django templates server-side, include a single JS script, thrown in some HTML attributes, distinguish between full page requests vs. requests for a partial with updated data, and call it a day.

More of a side comment, but I'm skeptical of the way HTMX encourages partial renders like this. It feels like a premature optimization that adds more complexity on the back end. `hx-select` takes care of it, but to me it feels like it should be the default (it's what Unpoly does).
