Relying on simpler frameworks when you can make sense. But the notion of getting rid of build steps is a complete lark, just be more efficient with build steps, and if necessary, don't include them in production. Also why would you want to prioritize adding your attributes to HTML? Are you making a document and hosting it as a website? In what other world is that preferred? CSS isn't hard to navigate, if anything one should be encouraging better CSS practices. Yes, frontend scripts can obfuscate styling, but perhaps just don't rely on that if you don't need to, which is already a no-brainer, since it's harder to give an attribute via some JS rather than shoving it into a style document.

Some of these make sense and are obvious, like using only what you need (which is preached for half of the article). But the rest of it confusing, if not outright ridiculous. Why are we even assuming that being able to copy an entire HTML page is a good thing? Frankly I don't care, and it's not like there are literally millions of resources to use to learn HTML even if you can't view a few pages' HTML.

Idk man, kind of a head scratcher
