This post includes recommendations for teams that are procuring websites, and I think they can be summed up as: *buy simpler problems*.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix because JS is *"f-it! we'll do it live!"* for web development. JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.

Let browsers help!
