So… this has been happening for a long time now. The baseline set of tools is a lot better than it used to be. Back in 2010, jQuery was the divine ruler of JSlandia. Nowadays, you would probably just throw your jQuery in the woodchipper and replace it with raw, unfinished, quartersawn JS straight from the mill.

I also used to have these massive sets of packages pieced together with RequireJS or Rollup or WebPack or whatever. Now it’s unnecessary.

(I wouldn’t dare swap out a JWT implementation with something Claude wrote, though.)
