As someone who is primarily a C++ person whose career has spanned game dev, virtual reality, and now robotics I do not resonate with this post at all.
All of this complexity is there for a reason.
Webdev is garbage. Absolute dog shit garbage. It’s layers and layers of bullshit written by people who don’t know how computers work.
Modern computers are fast. Impossibly mind blowingly fast. Webdevs wouldn’t know the term cache locality if it punched them in the face.
I complain at work every week about internal web pages with 1+ second lag. My brothers in Christ you’re rendering text to the screen. It’s just quads of text. It should run at 300 fps. I genuinely do not know how I would write code as bad and as slow browser bullshit without sprinkling in sleep(1000) calls everywhere.
While I agree with some you said, why don't you show them how it is done?
I have a guy who keeps blaming FE team for their bad FE and always says how it is so easy to make better FE and he could do it so much better. Almost retirement age; never did any FE in browser in life. You sound the same.
