OT: This youtube video creased me up, rolling about on the floor laughing (even at the php joke)

I love the sarcasm and none of it was lost on me.

"Now lets add more code to the API because as everyone knows, more code makes a better app."   Hilarious. 

 

Bootstrap doesn't look nearly so bad anymore, does it?  🙂

So relieved someone here got it! As you say, absolutely hilarious take on where we are at.

The only regret is that for me, who is French (although the language is very clear) the flow is a bit fast...

Yes, most of the Fireship videos are like that - fast paced to the point it is difficult to keep up, even for those of us whose first language is English.

The 'tongue in cheek' digs throughtout the video at some of the dependencies involved had me in stitches, even the phart stack (php) had me in laughing. Fireship is a well known js advocate so that wasnt entirely unexpected but still an hillarious look at where we are at today and what a complex mess we have gotten ourselves into.

Not sure how much of the video you watched but its quite the opposite, a growing number of professional developers who are begining to question why so many complex dependencies are required to build a simple website/application, hence the video ending where a few cdn script tags for vue, bootstrap and firebase were deployed, rather than using the command line to create a bloated package of files and folders much of which will never be required and certainly the mere mortal developers wont even know what they do or how it all works, 

I wont be around to be involed but sooner or later sense will once again prevail, it always does. Each generation of developers assess what the last were doing and it goes around in circles. 

I just thought the tone of the video was really reflective of what most good developers are thinking yet the mediorce lemings in denial  wont or are afraid to admit to, hell if it were that simple.........
