Old is new again (at least on the web)

I came across a comprehensive analysis of all the ‘inovations’ in full-stack development, which can be found at https://www.bitecode.dev/p/hype-cycles. It brought back some fun memories 🙂

Every few years, I found myself needing or wanting to create a website. This involved trying to use “best” tools and frameworks for the job that everyone was hyping at the time

Yet, each time, I found myself gravitating back to good old WordPress, with a sprinkle of jQuery or a lightweight framework.

Why?

Well, I felt ‘stupid’ that it took so much time to set up a simple CRUD website using these supposedly “modern” tools.

The rule: simple task needs simple tools, always 🙂
