BRIAN’S NOTES ✏️
Sometimes I wonder if giving up the simplicity of web development was worth what we gained. The time spent wrangling build tools adds up, and creates dozens of layers of dependencies, each with varying philosophies and practices on updates and backward compatibility. If you’re working on a site for the first time in a few months, be prepared to spend just as much time updating the various build tools, processes, and underlying software, as doing the actual work. It makes me sad, and it makes me feel like we let something go that we should not have.
