1996 was the beginning of the chaos. We went from a document that the user's browser parsed and styled to a free-for-all of website designs glued together on construction paper. Accessibility took a step back. You now needed a graphical desktop to view the web. Page content was no longer machine readable and became less portable. Now in a world of dynamic page content generated by javascript you need a v8 browser in crawlers just to index page content.

Industry is like a triangle and if you move towards one corner you have to move away from another:

I wasn't aware of Alpine.js before the article though and I love minimalistic frameworks so thank you for that.

Just type npm run and that lists out the script commands available.

OP never mentioned commuting to work you're just on an unrelated tangent. And yes, believe it or not a lot of people have jobs that require making service calls or being on location.

Java and JavaScript are like car and carpet because despite the beginning of the names matching they serve different purposes. In the early web days Java applets were a thing and it failed which is why a new language was needed. It's not a secret that there was pressure to make Javascript look like Java, that's just not the point of the figure of speech.

It's about the journey not the destination.

Didn't see the gull at first and thought you meant to type pully instead of gull!
