Simplicity, vanished?! Solving the mystery with Inertia.js + Rails—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog

Has simplicity gone missing in web development? This investigative piece uncovers how Inertia.js + Rails defy JavaScript bloat and reclaim developer sanity.The front-end development racket has been running the same con for years now. Walk into any dev shop and you’ll see the same sorry picture: smart developers drowning in tooling they don’t need, solving problems that didn’t exist until someone sold them the solution. I’ve been working this beat long enough to know how the game works. First, they fragment your ecosystem by making you choose between React, Vue, Angular, Svelte. Then they multiply your decisions until you’re paralyzed by choice. Finally, they swoop in with “expert solutions” that cost more than the original problem.
