TL;DR: Yes and it's creating "It's X and limited by Y, but it works" projects

In web front-end, the same pattern crops up repeatedly. Two examples:

* Elm[1]: It's brutally functional and limited by purity, but it works

* htmx[2]: It's grug-brained[3] and limited by that, but it works

I'll let others enumerate web frameworks. On desktop, software for uxn and Varvara[4] by Hundred Rabbits fits the same pattern:

* 64k of RAM and limited to 4 colors, but it works

* Created when Xcode was painful to install on a boat over pre-Starlink satellite internet

Who knew rage-quitting could be so productive? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
