Although I don't usually use react, for me, there is a certain joy and also efficiency that comes from using some of the abstractions that you got from the larger JavaScript/web ecosystem while also having the ability render all that magic to a folder with a couple of HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.

With LLMs to help wrestle the boilerplate, I've found I can whip up a fast static site using advanced ergonomic abstractions that make the whole process a joy! In the past, wrestling the Node and NPM ecosystem was a a complete nightmare. Now it's, a dream — with the occasional storm cloud.
