Thinking about whether a web architecture will hold up for 100 years is bikeshedding, is bikeshedding as well

Have you discovered any unusual or unexpected type of resistances? What's the furthest back in history you've been able to find something like this?

It's just not. I have done all these things. Maintenance is a piece of cake. Sorry that you struggled with this.

You can achieve a great deal of interactivity with pure get/post requests, along with a sprinkling of javascript one-liners and maybe alpine.js if client interactivity is important.

This is a mix of specious, and just outright incorrect.

Here are a few brief replies:

popups/tiling - use `<dialog>`

real-time chat - use websockets

slow/unreliable connections - well yeah this is a problem for any app...if you're delivering a 2MB paylaod to start the web app so that it doesn't need a connection, you're just betting that the user has a fast connection initially. what if that's not true either? back to square one. REST/Hypermedia encourages sending small payloads and working within those real constraints

I have no idea what you're talking about with "true web3 and ethereum". HTMX has nothing to do with web3 or crypto.

I didn't realize maximizing money is the way to achieve moral excellence. It's interesting how Puritanical the EA folks are

This isn't a good example - people were completing 6-month bootcamps and getting $100k offers to do web development not too long ago, decades after the web and HTML took off. After a few years they were making as much as anyone who learned HTML and Web 1.0 back in the 90s.

Are the bootcampers better developers? Probably not. But they still were employable and paid relatively the same.
