Great UX shouldn't require a complete rewrite. Dave Mosher compares a React SPA vs HTMX for the same app.

HTMX delivers on what matters:
- Ship faster (one deployment vs two)
- Onboard developers faster (HTML + HTTP, done)
- Serve users better (works without JS)
- Keep it together (1 script vs dependency chaos)

Not about abandoning React—it's about choosing complexity only when it adds user value.

Compare the approaches:

"We just need to be more careful about quality" … 💥

Famous last words from leadership everywhere. You can't solve systemic problems by expecting developers to be perfect. Even AI hallucinates and needs human review.

So why do we keep designing systems that assume perfection? You need systems that manage inevitable mistakes, not reject them. https://link.testdouble.com/9a7f27

Building software teams that manage mistakes rather than rejecting them

There’s a pervasive assumption that expert developers don’t make mistakes. But they’re only human. Ignoring that can lead to high intensity events. Invest in systems to manage inevitable mistakes.
