"Since the web is neither as complex as game development nor as sensitive as the embedded systems, web developers have to create their own job security through useless complexity." That's the strongest line I've heard in a while. I'm stealing it.

Remember folks, it never hurts to just use css and javascript. Abstraction of the same concepts is just a dialect difference.

JSF (Java Server Faces) just waiting in the background like "oh okay we're looping entirely back to thin clients and fat servers?"

[peterszarvas]

please show the end result, it would make it so much easier to understand

Microsoft used to call this Active Server Pages 20+ years ago.

So basically we got back to when i was doing the same with php 5 + jQuery ...

We changed this as soon as react was invented to get faster response with json and more reactive pages. Are we going back again?

Awesome Golang + HTMX video! Would love a deep dive on PocketBase.

[enic-ma]

I would like to watch a video about Pocketbase and SPA

[inmydelorean]

In 9:37 you've managed to build just a Hello World app. It's not the simplest tech stack by any means. In the same time you could have built a functional CRUD app with Rails and Turbo.

Great video, would love to see a deepdive on pocketbase, using a similar project example

[NaveenKumarasinghe]

A deep dive into pocket base would be great!

Just finished learning React and now i gotta learn htmx lmao

[honkhonk]

I love this video. Can you make more btw?
Like seriously, its kinda maddening how over complex ts shit is.
Game dev and embedding is so simple and straightforward for me. But trying to deal with 9 quadrillion different frameworks and all this mindless bs makes me suicidal

[PhilanJames]

Would be great to have timestamps in your videos

[breakoutgaffe]

Can you also please make one about how to add css and interactive components like carousels using this tech stack?

[briandaniel]

Nice vid, what VSCode theme are you using?

[michaelandersen]

Pocketbase please! I've been poking at it using its static pages with JS and HTMX calling the back end, but very nice to see what someone who knows what they are doing show one around.

I can see how Pocketbase could replace some of the fastapi/flask/quart approaches I've been using.

I really like your videos Mr. Awesome.

Please make fast api & fast html tutorial
