< Webdev seemed so easy, but now it seems so hard...
yeah for real... i'm in school for software engineering and i hate every second of it because i've realized they're just trying to teach me to fix problems that shouldn't exist in the first place... i've only been doing web dev for 6 years and i kind of gave up on it after taking a step back and realizing what was happening. now i run an openbsd server and use c + httpd, relayd, and more. it's way more fun for a traditionally "lesser" outcome.
This whole post reminds me of a certain motherfucking website.
I'm not actually saying your shitty site should look like this. What I'm saying is that all the problems we have with websites are ones we create ourselves. Websites aren't broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible. You break them. You son-of-a-bitch.

It really does feel like most problems in our trade are either self-inflicted or inflicted upon us by ignorant management who drink whatever koolaid is on offer.
