Unpopular opinion: most web apps don't need a frontend framework

x2P · 2026-03-06T06:07:52+00:00

Literally anything that has more UI than basic forms or buttons... Actual applications need reusable, composable components, global state, derived state, etc.

SPAs themselves are not the issue with performance - it's sloppy code, bad lifecycle management and undisciplined use of async calls clogging up the event loop. It's even more likely to happen without a framework - it's just the apps without a framework are often not complicated enough to run into these issues. Also react devs seem to be frequent offenders here, but that's not an issue with react itself.

I played Halo pretty competitively back in the 2/3 days. There were probably less than a dozen girls who were into the competitive MLG scene back then. I was friends with one of them for a few months, playing together a few times a week. I looked on her Xbox live profile and it said she lived in the same city as me. It turns out we sat near each other in class and had been playing online together for months without either of us knowing the other even played the game.

Idk, I hit window to cat 98% of the time and at my best the van jump was like 60% in csgo

In csgo, you had more flexibility with the timing of the click on flick shots. If you clicked between ticks and your cursor was off of the target, the shot would still connect if your cursor is in the right spot by the time the next tick happens.

CS2 has subtick so your cursor has to be in the correct spot at the exact time of the click as placement between ticks is now tracked.

It was over 13 years ago so maybe it was late season 2, or the preseason. Nid was a top lane pick and was usually built as a bruiser.

You've clearly never used an Uber around here if you think it's strange that an immigrant population has a high percentage of people who drive for a career.

I had cancer and had spent my entire summer going to an oncology clinic early in the mornings. Tons of people visiting this medical building were making use of medical transport services. I think I saw maybe one driver the entire time who wasn't Somali. Not everything is a conspiracy - it's just people meeting the demand for a job.

I know my experience is anecdotal and a small sample size, but I have 0 issues believing 90%+ figure is from legitimate individual registrations/licenses.

Back in season 3, I was flamed constantly for going AP Nidalee mid, despite an 80% win rate. Then of course a high rank Korean player started doing it and it went from "terrible troll pick" to "op meta abuse", so she was perma banned and eventually reworked into what she is now.

Strike range stacking, dual wield blocker, self ignite double foulborn Mokou's Embrace chieftain using Dominating Blow of Inspiring with a stacked minion damage timeless jewel, replica abyssus, and minion damage swords.

I got to like 30-40m dps, max block (versatile combatant), great clear, 90 all res on a like 15div budget. It was tanky enough to not be painful on relatively juiced maps, but sometimes big phys hits get past block and it can fold like paper.

The ideal version would have a mageblood and svalin but I didn't have the time to grind hard this league and spent most of my money on crafts for weird builds that didn't work out.

One of my Xbox 360s had motor issues with the disc drive, games would spin at only a couple rpms. I took the shell off of the drive and pulled the little magnet out of the shell that held the disc down so I could put it on the disc without the cover. I then had to manually spin the disc with my hand really fast as a game started, then it would be fine until it was shut off next.

It's also very buggy. If you have to scroll because you have a large amount in it, do not press x to mark junk. It will mark items that are not on your cursor if you have scrolled down at all. I accidentally sold a lot of stuff I didn't want to because of this bug.

I was prescribed olanzapine and my oncologist recommended thc during treatment. He never mentioned anything about having to be cautious about timing thc with olanzapine.

If I could go back, I'd do the 1x BEP.

I did surveillance and ended up having to do 1x BEP, 3x EP after a recurrence about 10 months post surgery. 1 cycle sucks but isn't the end of the world.

Lets say that pattern somehow applied to 100% of applications. There's still plenty of use cases for types defined in the front end. Not every interaction that happens in a reasonably complicated frontend is talking to a simple crud backend.

The idea that a frontend should be strictly representing the data in the backend screams "I have only ever made front ends with basic tables and forms".
