I Stopped Treating Web As If It Is An Instagram Reel

I've met with web development right in the beginning of the frontend wars. I was an iPad kid with 5-second attention span. Well, me as an engineer and web environment has matured, finally.

I will accept all the shame. I started programming as a self-taught web developer in 2019. It was very special for me seeing my text turn into colors and presentations on the browser. What I felt was unique, just like probably 1B+ other people, who followed the exact same path1. At those times, YouTube tutorials on how to do X in CSS was my type of gem. I have watched all DevEd, Web Dev Simplified and countless other frontend web tutorials (usually library marketing), until most of them seemed to be so trivial. Then one day, I was exposed to Primeagean.
