I learned “pure” JS back in 2013, when HTML5 was brand new, and I still don’t get most of the stuff going on nowadays.

    I don’t understand people complaining about how hard it is these days. When I learned JavaScript there were no Q&A sites, no video tutorials, no open source project skeletons. Browsers didn’t even have developer tools! If your code didn’t work you just had to guess why! You think StackOverflow users can be rude? Try asking for advice on Usenet circa 1996!

    Sure, webpack is more complicated than static files. But there are 1 billion Medium posts and YouTube videos explaining how it works, or you can clone a preconfigured GitHub repo. It is so much easier to learn now.
