I’m not a frontend dev so I just stick to vanilla html and js.

I created a simple table with 40k rows, slapped an input box above it, and had some vanilla js set CSS visibility on all rows depending on whether they matched. This would update live as I was typing (10ms trigger delay). No optimizations.

So what are frontend devs doing that they break all of this so badly? Are they just trying to be too smart, I wonder?
