It is an
-opinionated post! I will learn more about this in the future, and probably
-slightly change my mind about some of the things I criticize.</em><p>I have started working on a hobby project about two weeks ago, and I wanted to
-use that situation as a learning one. Trying new things, new technologies, new
-tools. I always considered myself to be an adventurous person when it comes to
-technology. I never shy away from trying new languages, new operating systems
-etc. Likewise, I find the whole experience satisfying, and it tickles that part
-of my brain that finds discovery the highest of the mountains to climb.<p>What I always wanted to make was a coding game, that you would play in a browser
-(just to eliminate building binaries for each operating system) where you would
-level up your character and go into these scriptable battles. You know, RPG
-elements.<p>So, the natural way to go would be some sort of SPA (single page application)
-with basic routing and some state management. Nothing crazy.<blockquote><p><strong>Before we move on</strong>, I have to be transparent. Take my views on this with
-a grain of salt. I have only scratched the surface with these technologies,
-and my knowledge is full of gaps. This is my experience using some of these
-products for the first time or in a limited capacity.</blockquote><p>Having this out of the way, I got myself a fresh pot of coffee and down the
-rabbit hole I went.<h2 id=giving-react-js-a-spin>Giving React JS a spin</h2><p>I first tried <a href=https://reactjs.org/>React JS</a>. I kind of like it. Furthermore,
-I have worked with libraries like this in the past and also wrote a couple of
-them (nothing compared to that level), but I had the basic understanding of what
-was going on. I rolled up a project quickly and had basic things done in a
-matter of two hours, which was impressive.<p>I prefer using <a href=https://tailwindcss.com/>Tailwind CSS</a> for my styling
-pleasures, and integrating that was also a painless experience. It was actually
-nice to see that some things got better with time. In about 2 minutes I got
-Tailwind working, and I was able to use classes at my disposal. All that
-<code>postcss</code> stuff was taken care of by adding a couple of things in config files
-(all described really well in their documentation).<p>It is not that different from Vue which I have had more encounters with in the
-past People will probably call me a lunatic for saying this. But you know, it is
-the truth. Same same, but different. I still believe that using libraries like
-this is beneficial. I am not a JavaScript purist. They all have their quirks,
-but at the end of the day, I truly believe it’s worth it.<h2 id=bundlers-and-transpilers>Bundlers and Transpilers</h2><p>I still reject calling <a href=https://www.typescriptlang.org/>Typescript</a> to
-<a href=https://www.javascript.com/>JavaScript</a> conversion a "compilation process". I
-call them <a href=https://devopedia.org/transpiler>transpilers</a>, and I don’t care! 😈<p>The first one that I ever used was <a href=https://webpack.js.org/>webpack</a>, and it
-was an absolute horrific experience. Saying this, it is an absolutely fantastic
-tool. I felt more like a config editor than actually a programmer. To be fair,
-I am a huge fan of <a href=https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>make</a>, and you can do as
-you wish with this information. I like my build systems simple.<p>Also, isn’t it interesting that we need something like
-<a href=https://babeljs.io/>Babel</a> to make JavaScript code work in a browser that has
-only one client side scripting available, which is by no accident also
-JavaScript. Why? I know why it’s needed, but seriously, why.<p>I haven’t used Babel for years now. Or if I did, it was packaged together by
-some other bundler thingy. Which does not make things better, but at least I
-didn’t need to worry about it.<p>I really don’t like complicated build systems. I really don’t like abstracting
-code and making things appear magical. The older I get, the more I appreciate
-clear and clean, expressive code. No one-liners, if possible.<p>But I have to give props to <a href=https://vitejs.dev/>Vite</a>! This was one of the
-best developer experiences I have ever had. Granted, it still has magical
-properties. And yes, it still is a bundler and abstracts things to the nth
-degree. But at least it didn’t force me to configure 700 lines of JSON. And I
-know that this makes me a hypocrite. You can’t have it all. Nonetheless, my
-reasoning here is, if using bundlers is inevitable, then at least they should
-provide an excellent developer experience.<p>I also noticed that now the catch-all phrase is “blazingly fast” and “lightning
-fast” and “next generation” and stuff like that. I mean, yeah, tools should get
-faster with time. But saying that starting a project now takes 2 seconds instead
-of 20 seconds is something that is a break it or make it kind of a deal is
-ridiculous. I don’t mind waiting a couple of seconds every couple of days. I
-also don’t create 700 projects every day, and also who does? This argument has
-no bite. All I want is a decent reload time (~100ms is more than good enough for
-me) and that is it.<p>You don’t need to sell me benefits if I only get them when I start a fresh
-project, and then try to convince me that this is somehow changing the fate of
-the universe. First of all, it is not. And second, if this is your only argument
-for your tool, I would advise you to maybe re-focus your efforts to something
-else. Vite says that startup times are really fast. And if that would be the
-only thing differentiating it from other tools, I would ignore it. But it has
-some really compelling features like <a href=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/reactjs-hot-module-replacement/>Hot Module
-Replacement</a> that
-really works well. It was a joy to use.<p>So, I will be definitely using Vite in the future.<h2 id=jam-stack-mach-stack-no-snack>Jam Stack, Mach Stack no snack</h2><p>Let's get a couple of the acronyms out of the way, so we all know what we are
-talking about:<ul><li>Jam Stack - JavaScript, API and Markup<li>Mach Stack - Microservices, API-first, Cloud-Native SaaS, Headless</ul><p>It is so hard to follow all these new trendy things happening around you, that
-it makes you have a massive <strong>FOMO</strong> all the time. But on the other hand, you
-also don’t want to be that old fart that doesn’t move with the times and still
-writes his trusty jQuery code while listening to Blink 182 All the small things
-on full blast. It’s a good song, don’t get me wrong, but there are other songs
-out there.<p>I have to admit. <a href=https://vercel.com/>Vercel</a> is really cool! Love the
-simplicity of the service. You could compare it to
-<a href=https://www.netlify.com/>Netlify</a>. I haven’t tried Netlify extensively, but
-from a couple of experimental deployments I still prefer Vercel. It is much more
-streamlined, but maybe this is bias in me. I really like Vercel’s Analytics,
-which give you a <a href=https://web.dev/vitals/>Core Web Vitals report</a> in their
-admin console. Kind of cool, I’m not going to lie.<p>This whole idea about frontend and backend merging into <a href=https://www.debugbear.com/blog/server-side-rendering>SSR (server-side
-rendering)</a> looks so good
-on paper. It almost doesn’t come with any major flaws.<p>But when it comes to the actual implementation, there is much to be desired.
-I’m going to lump <a href=https://nextjs.org/>Next.js</a> and
-<a href=https://nuxtjs.org/>Nuxt.js</a> together because they are essentially the same
-thing, just a different library.<p>Now comes the reality. Mixing backend and frontend in this manner creates this
-weird mental model where you kind of rely on magical properties of these
-libraries. You relinquish control over to them for better developer experience.
-But is that really true? Initially, I was so stoked about it. However, the more
-I used them, the more I felt uncomfortable. I felt dirty, actually. Maybe this
-is because I come from old ways of doing things where you control every step of
-request, and allowing something to hijack it feels like blasphemy.<p>More than that, some pretty significant technical issues arose from this. How do
-you do JWT token authentication? You put it in <code>api</code> folder and then do some
-fetching and storing into local state management. But doing this also requires
-some tinkering with await/async stuff on the React/Vue side of things. And then
-you need to write middleware for it. And the more I look at it, the more I see
-that this whole thing was not meant to be used like this, and it all feels and
-looks like a huge hack.<p>The issue I have with this is that they over-promise and under-deliver. They
-want to be an all-in-one replacement for everything, and they don’t deliver on
-this promise. And how could they?! We have to be fair. It is an impossible task.<p>They sell you <a href=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/overview-of-noops/>NoOps</a>, but
-when you need to accomplish something a little bit more out of the scope of
-Hello World, you have to make hacky decisions to make it work. And having a
-deployment strategy that relies on many moving parts is never a good idea.
-Abstracting too much is usually a sign of bad architecture.<p>Lately, this has become a huge trend that will for sure bite us in the future.
-And let’s not get it twisted. By doing this, PaaS providers like
-<a href=https://aws.amazon.com/>AWS</a>, <a href=https://cloud.google.com/>GCS</a>, etc. obscure
-their billing, and you end up paying more than you really should. And even if
-that is not an issue, it comes down to the principle of things. AWS is known for
-having multiple “currencies“ inside their projects like write operations, read
-operations, etc. which add up, and it creates this impossible to track billing
-scheme. It all behaves suspiciously like a pay-to-win game you could find on
-mobile phones that scams you out of your money.<p>And as far as I am concerned, the most important thing was me not coding the
-functionalities for the game I want to make. I was battling libraries and cloud
-providers. How to deploy, what settings are relevant. Bad documentation or
-multiple versions of achieving the same thing. You are getting bombarded by all
-this information, and you don’t really have any control over it.
-Production-ready code becomes a joke, essentially. Especially if you tend to
-work on that project for a prolonged period of time.<p>All of these options end up creating a fatigue. What to choose, what not to
-choose. Unnecessary worrying about if the stack will still be deemed worthy in
-six months. There is elegance in simplicity.<blockquote><p>JavaScript UI frameworks and libraries work in cycles. Every six months or
-so, a new one pops up, claiming that it has revolutionized UI development.
-Thousands of developers adopt it into their new projects, blog posts are
-written, Stack Overflow questions are asked and answered, and then a newer
-(and even more revolutionary) framework pops up to usurp the throne.
-— Ian Allen</blockquote><p>And this jab at these libraries and cloud providers is not done out of malice.
-It is a real concern that I have about them. In my life, I have seen
-technologies come and go, but the basics always stick around. So surrendering
-all the power you have to a library or a cloud provider is in my opinion a
-stupid move.<h2 id=tailwind-css-still-rocks>Tailwind CSS still rocks!</h2><p>You know, many people say negative things about Tailwind. And after a lot of
-deliberation, I came to the conclusion that Tailwind is good for two types of
-developers. Tailwind is good for a complete noob or a senior developer. A
-complete noob doesn’t really care about inner workings of CSS, and a senior
-developer also doesn’t care about CSS. Well, at least, not anymore. And
-developers in between usually have the biggest issues with it. Not always of
-course, but in a lot of cases.<p>I like the creature comforts of Tailwind. Being utility first would make me
-argue that it is actually more similar to <a href=https://sass-lang.com/>Sass</a> or
-<a href=https://lesscss.org/>Less</a> than something like Bootstrap. Not technically, but
-ideologically. After I started using it, I never looked back. I use it every
-time I need to do something web related.<p>Writing CSS for general things feels like going several steps back. Instead of
-focusing on what you are actually trying to achieve, you focus on notations like
-<a href=https://en.bem.info/methodology/css/>BEM</a>, code structuring, optimizing HTML
-size. Just doing things that make 0.1% difference. You know that saying: Early
-optimization is the root of all evil. Exactly that.<p>I am also not saying that Tailwind is the cure for everything. Sometimes custom
-CSS is necessary. But from what I found out in using it for almost two years in
-a production environment (on a site getting quite a lot of traffic and
-constantly being changed), I can say without any reservations that Tailwind
-saved our asses countless times. We would be rewriting CSS all the time without
-it. And I don’t really think writing CSS is the best way to spend my time.<p>I have also noticed that people who criticize Tailwind the most never actually
-used it in a real project that has a long lifetime with plenty of changes that
-will happen in the future.<p>But you know, whatever floats your boat!<h2 id=code-maintainability>Code maintainability</h2><p>Somehow, people also stopped talking about maintenance. If you constantly try to
-catch the latest and greatest train, you are by that logic always trying new
-things. Which is a good thing if you want to learn about technologies and try
-them. But for the production environment, you have to have a stable stack that
-doesn’t change every 6 months.<p>You can lock dependencies for sure. Nevertheless, the hype train moves along
-anyway. And the mindset this breeds goes against locking the code. This
-bleeding-edge rolling release cycle is not helping. That is why enterprise
-solutions usually look down on these popular stacks and only do bare minimum to
-appear hip and cool.<p>With that said, I still think that progress is good, but should be taken with a
-grain of salt. If your project is something that should be built once and then
-rarely updated, going with the latest stack is a possible way to go. But, if you
-are working on a project that lasts for years, you should probably approach it
-with some level of caution. Web development is often times too volatile.<h2 id=web-development-has-a-marketing-issue>Web development has a marketing issue</h2><p>I noticed that almost every project now has this marketing spin put on it.
-Everything is blazingly fast now. I get it, they are competing for your
-attention, but what happened to just being truthful and not inflating reality.<p>And in order to appeal to mass market, they leave things out of their marketing
-materials. These open-source projects are now behaving more and more like
-companies do. Which is a scary thought on its self.<p>And we are also seeing a rise in a concept of building a company in the open,
-which is a good thing, don't get me wrong. But when it is using open-source to
-lure people and then lock them in their ecosystem, there is where I have issues
-with it.<p>This might be because I have been using GNU/Linux for 20 years now and have been
-so beholden for my success to open-source that I see issues when open-source is
-being used to trick people into a false sense of security that these projects
-are built in the spirit of open-source. Because there is a difference. They are
-NOT! They have a really specific goal in mind. And the open-source is being used
-as a delivery system. Which is in my opinion disgusting!<h2 id=conclusion>Conclusion</h2><p>I will end my post with this. Web development is running now in circles. People
-are discovering <a href=https://www.tutorialspoint.com/remote-procedure-call-rpc>RPC</a>
-now and this is the now the next big thing. <a href=https://graphql.org/>GraphQL</a> is
-so passé. And I am so tired of it all. Of blazingly fast libraries, of all these
-new technologies that are actually just a remake of old ones. Of just the
-general spirit of the web. I will just use what I already know. Which worked 10
-years ago and will work 10 years after this. I will adopt a couple of little
-tools like Vite. But I will not waste my time on this anymore.<p>It was a good exercise to get in touch with what’s new now. Nothing really
-changed that much. FOMO is now cured! Now I have to get my ass back to actually
-code and make the project that I wanted to make in the first place.</div></article></main><section><hr><h2>Posts from blogs I follow around the net</h2><ul><li><a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/NFSv4ServerLockClients target=_blank rel=noopener>Finding which NFSv4 client owns a lock on a Linux NFS(v4) server</a> — <a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/>Chris's Wiki :: blog</a><div>A while back I wrote an entry about finding which NFS client owns
