Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites.
If only “fullstack” or “typescript” devs weren’t so scared of CSS. They can optimize a weird join, they know the Big O notation of a function that operates on a list that’ll never ever exceed a size of like 1000 items so who the fuck cares, but as soon as you ask them about grid, layers, container queries, or even what things like houdini can hopefully do one day, they just collectively shit themselves.
What corporations and enterprise software development practices have done to the web makes me crash out, sorry. Very few people who actually care about CSS are making a living wage making things with it as their job.
