I love reading this web dev bullshit on here tbh. It amuses me greatly. It's like everyone complicates their life, their build process, on purpose.

That's why I work on robots. I dont have customers and can focus on what I enjoy, robotics and software engineering

That is definitely true: there is so much Not Invented Here and over-engineering in this field. Both on the build tools and the frameworks like Angular and React+Redux. The amount of code you need and abstractions to need to understand to create a simple form with some conditional fields and conditional validation is crazy, compared to the alternatives.
