I really like the quote in this post about how simplicity moves the complexity elsewhere. Personally, I share some of the sentiment that the author has. I have working with React since 2016 and while I will still continue to use it for the foreseeable future, I still see glimpses of something better in other frontend frameworks. Maybe this is an illusion, what I've noticed lately is that all framework / library sites make big claims about what they are capable of and the real limitations are only discovered when you actually use them. But a few months ago, I helped out on a Vue project and I can't help but think that it does many things better.

Have a rather underpowered mini PC (Gigabyte BRIX BACE-3000 with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD) running Nextcloud, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and CouchDB for a small task tracking app I built. All of this is running on Docker with Portainer on Debian.
I also run Kodi on it a couple of times a day - it doesn't have hardware acceleration for HEVC due to its age but it does have hardware acceleration for 1080p H264 which is sufficient for me.
Kinda surprised that all of this runs sort of decently. CPU hits 100% whenever a single application is actively being used but since I am the only user using a single application at a time, it is kinda alright.
Yeah it was quite shocking for me to read his story. Link for everyone who hasn't come across it yet. https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md
Edit: Just noticed that he used the exact same comic in this write up.
