for what it's worth, if you're just good with HTML, CSS, & have decent vanilla JS chops, you'll be able to keep up with whatever trendy framework they're hawking down in the meat markets today. it's not as dizzying as they want it to seem; it's the same web as the neopets days 💛

      I'm not gonna do the anti-framework tirade I usually do; if you've seen my Tweets before you know that tune. you'll probably have to work with tailwind or react or remix or sass or angular or idk backbone at some point; your best bet is to know what's under those hoods.

    I know the industry sometimes loves the brave, golden, over-earnest boys of abstraction and sometimes it loves the stoic, patient, stubborn craftsfolk of the web platform. so goes the wheel, we learn from them & them from us, but the fundamentals persist 🥰
