Me, a (mostly) backend developer, reading a Medium post on how to make your computer display a div using Awesome New Web Framework (TM)

Every front-end guide, despite modern HTML/CSS3/ES6+ being completely viable for building an entire web application without dependencies: "first, install npm and npx and npy and npppp2 and then run 'npz create-huge-boilerplate-folder'. Now go edit arbitrarily_named_file.yaml to add requirements a, b, and banana. Now you can edit path/to/hidden/entrypoint.jsx to return 'Hello, World!' and then run 'npz bloated-dev-http-server' and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:9001/index to view it! Simple!"
