>We have been authoring HTML by hand for decades with ease

No, we've been generating it with templates or authoring templates.

Authoring HTML by hand is a very early 2000s thing to do.

After you a FE webdev that doesn't regularly author HTML by hand?

  • Hand on heart. When was the last time you built a serious production system for a real business that was 100% built from HTML without using any build step? Just editing the footer and header in every file when it updates (or using iframes)

    • LLMs aside, when was the last time you wrote React/JSX and didn't write a subset of HTML by hand in them?

  • Can’t answer the person who responded to you but:

    Yesterday. Astro components.

    3 million people will have seen it as I type this. More next week.
