i feel so validated in that when someone first pointed me to "create-react-app" (several someones actually) like it's a normal way to do frontend dev in the year 201X/202Y i ran it, concluded the output was dogshit, got into a minor fight over it and then never touched it again
turns out it is in fact dogshit, professionals agree!
@whitequark Can confirm. We just have a template repo we clone and update for new apps. And React is a pig of a framework, even by JS standards... I still remember when websites were mostly server-side and weighed in at less than a megabyte including images...
(Seriously, does anyone know how to optimize images for serving these days? You don't need to serve a 20MB 4k PNG file for a 400px fixed-width element... I remember a site complaining about bandwidth usage and it turned out they were using a multi-megabyte 4k image file as their favicon...)
