What is good, then? Because I'm really not seeing it. Just peek at substack and bluesky to see how the templating ideas in web dev have turned out. (I'm assuming they are decent modern examples. If not, I'm game to see one.)
That which improves upon previous solutions.
I have no idea what substack and bluesky are, but I'll take that to suggest that someone used templating to create a mess. While that is no doubt true — someone can create a mess out of anything — would the same person have avoided the mess if the templating wasn't there? It is just ergonomics, after all, not some fundamentally different idea.
substack and bluesky are just newer sites. I don't even think they are bad. Just I question the volume of markup that they use to layout stuff. Knowing that that is the standard.
Do you have examples that are good?
At the time, this was good:
It might not hold up to today's standards, but "good" isn't a constant.
