Hi, author here!

I think that is a very valid criticism. I wanted to keep the article concise, but I should have elaborated more on why Go+HTMX+Templ solves the dependency management fatigue.

As I said in the article, it is mainly anecdotal evidence, i.e. the experience from having to maintain projects with either React or Go+HTMX. For example, in the Go+HTMX project I handle state management and routing solely with the Go stdlib (which is very very stable IMHO), I don't have to ever worry that a dependency update will force me to perform painful refactoring work.

Maybe in a future article I can expand on these points, thank you for the feedback :)

Hi, author here. At least from my personal experience, there are still many jobs in which the main focus isn't frontend development, and per se React.

I do have to work with React from time to time. But it isn't my main focus. I usually work implementing backend systems (with Go, SQL [Postgres], Redis, etc.) and infrastructure as code with Terraform.

It is nonetheless extremely cheap (in comparison to rents in Augsburg and near-by Munich) and has life-changing consequences for the people living there, since they do not have to allocate a big amount of their income into housing.

Hi Fatih, I just wanted to let you know that I am a very avid reader of your email newsletter. I really get happy every time an email with one of your new articles arrives at my inbox. Thanks to your reviews of keyboards I will hopefully soon be able to get one of them myself. In summary, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write the articles. It's definitely more time consuming than tweeting (I don't have a twitter account at all, I dislike the atmosphere there and I also prefer to consume longer texts with more content), so I just wanted to let you know that there's a bunch of people out here reading your texts and enjoying them!

I am currently almost entirely developing in Go. And for that I have a highly customized Vim environment, which really took me a while to get to where it is right now (it works very well, thanks to the great 'vim-go' plugin). Nonetheless, I am starting to have to develop more stuff in other languages like js and Elixir, and I definitely do not want to invest all that time tweaking my vimrc to have all the IDE bare functionality that works so well in Go. I was starting to consider making the transition into neovim, but Helix sounds almost like a plug-and-play solution with sane defaults (which is exactly what I would like to have). Is it better that I go for Helix, or is LunarVim or AstroVim actually what I am looking for?

Thanks a lot for the feedback! It helps to reinforce my decision to learn Svelte to see that other people see the same benefits as I do.

I had a look at your blog, the article about your career transition into therapy was a very nice and insightful read!

Do you work with Svelte and SvelteKit professionally or primarily on side project? How do you deal with the breaking changes that have taking place within SvelteKit, i. e. SvelteKit still not being on a major stable version yet?

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am starting to get serious about learning the frontend side of things (coming from a backend/DevOps professional background). Especially the part of "React is a hot mess with so many ways to do all the things..." has made me prefer Svelte over React, and I really enjoy Svelte's idiomatic way of handling reactivity, I find it super intuitive. I guess I was just feeling insecure about putting so much time into Svelte, because I mostly only hear about people working with React.

This is amazing! Thank you so much!
