one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

never doubt the elegance of good semantic HTML and a few lines of classless CSS
and I find it kind of funny, and I find it kind of sad, that the sane standards of web development are now considered elegance

So that's where I heard it! Thank you very much!
It was the best I ever had...
After a few years of corporate framework stacks, I'm back to writing plain HTML/JS/CSS, and wow, what a joyful float down a river that is
Even with no transpiler or minification, bespoke HTML is extremely efficient and pleasant to use. I write little script tags with query selectors where I need them, they get efficiently loaded on the pages that use them
I use Hugo to do imports / classic server side rendering, and it's stupid fast and efficient. I can compile 500 pages in 0.5s on a dualcore machine with 4gb of ram. Resources (like images) can be processed, converted into multiple file types and resolutions and then automatically cached. It feels so zen
