Like, you're trying to make your point sound reasonable and well thought-out, but then you write stuff like

I don’t wash in the shower what I wash out of the shower.

Wtf does that mean? Your hands? Your face? Your asshole?

I'm not a doctor, but I've been on this earth for enough decades to have met all kinds of people with different showering habits. Those that don't shower daily are easy to identify, either by their smell up close, or by their oily skin from a distance. Maybe you're an anomaly, and should be studied by doctors for your superior anti-stink genes?

My partner wouldn’t lie to me about this, which I know because sometimes they do tell me I need a shower.

Different people have different sensitivity to smells. I've known two people who have no sense of smell (and one of them habitually stinks). Maybe your partner likes your stench? Maybe they just tolerate it because they love you?

Again, I don't care how you live your life, esp since it's unlikely I'll ever have to smell you. I have no ill-will towards you, and hope you live a long and happy life. But for the sake of intellectual curiosity and internet conversation, I'm not backing down from my position if all you have is a "just trust me bro".

The general play is:

  1. Make non-shit software
  2. ???
  3. $$$

What's "complicated stuff"? Your business logic will probably be complicated regardless of what you use. A framework will just add a few more layers of complexity and introduce a (usually fragile) build process.

Idk what you're trying to build, but from this:

I “just” want to build a pretty standard, responsive, modern-looking UI. Ideally without too much boilerplate,

It doesn't sound like you need a framework. Want responsive? Learn how to use flexbox. Want a "modern" look? Learn design, or find some CSS templates to start from.

If you're trying to make a SPA (which a lot of beginners/insane people seem to think is a good default, which it definitely is not), then a framework might make it easier, or it might not. It depends on what you're building. You may be able to use HTMX with a light sprinkling of JavaScript, or may need a full-blown batteries-included framework.

So. What are you building?

Using 'raw' JS/CSS/HTML is a coveted skill. A lot of people forgot and/or never learned how to do that. Those over engineered frameworks are essentially a form of premature optimization, and in many cases obsolete because modern browsers already implement their whole reason for existing.

I try to shower as infrequently as I can without stinking because it fucks up my skin every single time.

Could you go into detail? Is it the soap, or the water that fucks up your skin? And how does it get "fucked up"?

Check out this blog post which details how uids work within rootless containers. It's useful troubleshooting knowledge to have.

I predict that the "reframe vibe coding as something that sounds impressive" industry will explode in the next couple of years. All these LLM tools are dangerous sycophants, and the snake oil people will catch on and adapt to serve the market too.

some good old fashioned free market competition

This kills the billionare
