Thank you, there is something really cool things about bevy but it does feel like there is a certain barrier I can’t cross.
And I do wish you a speedy and tranquil recovery(and congratulations on the food safety course)! It’s not easy out there.

Bevy kinda beat me when I tried learning it; as in I had a really nice well typed program, but it took a lot of mental energy to get a circle on the screen.
So I’m going to repeat it with the idea that it’s a skill issue.

Surprised, and a bit demotivating, at reading the $now two dismissive comments on somebody sharing their opinion of people losing their motivation and sustainability in web development education, specifically due to LLMs.
They didn’t just create courses and ebooks, they tried to educate in how the web platform and API works and what changes. Free ebooks(Axel’s books are GREAT)/youtube videos are mentioned as well, but they now hold very little value in connecting with an audience these days, because nobody is browsing web content, so why diminish that loss?
What do people actually expect to happen when they say LLMs creates bloated/inaccessible websites easily, but that’s okay because people do that. Generating more code is the solution that problem?
I really like supporting/sponsoring educators a lot more rather than paying a monthly subscription to $corp.

I had this phase, a few years ago, where I really was into JS build/dev tooling. The whole ESM/CJS, TypeScript support and slow dev times, got me into a lot of fun stuff like Vite, ESBuild, Deno, Turbopack, CSS tooling. And it’s all fun but it also ended up not really improving anything. I remember trying out Bun and thinking wow I took Node’s stability for granted. And thus returned to following whatever the team liked the most, hoping that Deno would make a bigger splash.
And then around Node v20-22…Node included some really nice things! And the need for other (fast-moving) runtimes kinda dwindled away.
I’m pretty happy with JS tooling these days, it can still be a lot, but with the experience gained I feel like I can communicate very well why a project might not need a tool.
Still Deno holds a really nice place(it just includes so many great defaults!), and maybe OSS Deno can thrive in a similar way Biome or Servo does.
