I was around for that era (I may have made an involuntary noise when Zeldman once posted something nice about a thing I made), but being averse to "abstraction in general" is a completely alien concept to me as a software developer.
Yes, but I'm in so many words stating that that particular era of web dev was notorious for the discussion of "is this software engineering or not".
It's just such a different concept/vibe/whatever compared to modern frontend development. Brad Frost is another notable person in this overall space who's written about the changes in the field over the years.

I've had to unfollow multiple people I've followed for donkey's years since they pivoted to full-time AI* (LLM) posting, as they just don't know what's interesting and what isn't any more.
A link to something you said you've vibe coded is now at about the level of a link to your dream journal, or Suno, in terms of clickability.
Any plans to create a combined server + web app template using @hono/vite-dev-server for local development, with both sides of auth preconfigured, with the server serving up the built web app in production?
I've used this setup for my last few projects and it's so painless, and with recent versions of Node.js which can strip TypeScript types I don't even need a build step for the server code.
Edit: oops, I didn't see nkzw-tech/fate-template, which has something like this, but running client and server separately instead
Fine for a static site which is frozen at the first version forever.
So, so, painful for apps which need to change and evolve over time, which I'm currently experiencing. It's too easy to break the bits where you needed to get clever to make a layout variant work.
I did also did a Zen Garden on YouTube recently when they removed the list view option from Subscriptions, restyling their grid markup was a fun CSS exercise.
Control Panel for YouTube [1] lets you remove most of the clutter from the Shorts player UI, or redirect Shorts to the normal player (using YouTube's internal navigation if on desktop, so no full page reload)
You'll have to disable hiding them first, as they're completly hidden by default
Not a blocklist, but for anyone who wants this, Control Panel for Twitter [1] can hide most things you'd want to hide on Twitter. The latest version adds a way to keep using the Dim dark mode variant theme they recently removed.
