“It feels like everyone is now choosing its side. You can’t stay in the middle anymore. You are either dedicating all your CPU cycles to run JavaScript tracking you or walking away from the big monopolies. You are either being paid to build huge advertising billboards on top of yet another framework or you are handcrafting HTML.”

Very true and relatable. Recently a lot of corporate media platforms have the feel of turning into one of those half-abandoned malls - once all shiny and all the rage, now there's some weird Evangelical church in the basement, a filthy massage chair next to the elevator, and only one hairdresser and some shady cellphone repair shop survive. People say there's a sex shop in the third floor but you never go there anymore.
