Chris has ideas for a new set of best prac­tices that bring more sim­plic­i­ty and san­i­ty to the dev process. They involve such hereti­cal ideas as not using the pop­u­lar JavaScript frame­works, and using vanil­la JavaScript instead.

We also delve into sta­t­ic site gen­er­a­tors, and how the com­plex­i­ty that fron­tend devel­op­ment has mor­phed into cre­ates exclu­sion­ary ​“gate­keep­ing”.
