You can use React to render static websites. You get the nice component model and the speed of static content. You can take a look at the react native[1][2] website for an example.

> There is no way I could have completed some projects with a small team, in a short amount of time if I had to use some like Go or Rust

A fairly large internal php service at work just wasn't working well enough for us (for a lot of reasons), so I decided to try writing a drop in replacement in go (as in, the server would respond to `whatever/endpoint.php`).

It took about a month and a half, but the translation process was actually incredibly straightforward. Like, I automated a bunch of it straightforward. Most of my time was spent writing unit tests where the other codebase didn't have any. Maybe it was just how that php was written (totally frameworkless), but both languages seem to be fond of straight-forward imperative code, and IMO a junior developer could be just as efficient writing go as they could php.

And man I don't even like go.

My take is neither your nor his journey can be representative of another's journey. So, your experience can differ for many different reasons, from bosses to bribes, to group dynamics to personal circumstances, etc.

So, maybe some of the handlers are sticklers others just don't care. No doubt as there are people into ruin porn [like Detroit or the Ruhr] there are people who think it's neat to get a glimpse of what it's like to visit a desperate place --that does not mean the place is not desperate and a devastating place for the locals and for that reason I would not find blame in people taking "pictures everyone else has already taken".

It does not matter the veneer the person touring is looking for, what matters is the subsurface substance and that is the total backwardness and despair these people experience, just as the people of Venezuela experience at the hands of an inept ruler who blames the [American] "imperialists" or whatever accusation for any misfortune and misgovernance.

This is akin to blaming Christopher Anderson for his take on Venezuela.
Most designers could never create something that's better than the basic bootstrap framework, which makes this site incredibly ironic. There's nothing wrong with a common design language or layout system for the web. I shouldn't have to sit there for 5 minutes to guess how to navigate a website.
Mainly that it's overused, as the article subtly implies.

Also, I think, that it embodies style-over-substance in web design: lots of empty space, lots of unnecessary scrolling, lots of cute but pointless gimcrackery.
A few points -

1. A direct comparison to Facebook's react Github page may not be fair. Their page is 10 times heavier than the blog page - of course its going to be faster.

2. Actually the Facebook's React page is not that well designed when it comes to performance. I see a lot of scripts included in the FB react page blocking rendering (codemirror.js, etc) even in pages where they are not used. If those are removed, the time to first render should drop down by a lot.

3. I feel a more apt comparison would have be comparing to a purely static page like a blog hosted on Github. Not a page which actually includes a live code editor!

4. No one says the page loads in the DOMContentLoaded time. It is mostly a useless metric when it comes to performance measurement.
I do. And I still prefer it over the alternative.
I fail to see the issue here?
I was wondering what was the template behind all these similar designs. Today I learned. I really like that template and I love the idea that one can build a beautiful website with little effort. Why reinventing the wheel?

> Pyongyang will almost certainly never be nuked by the US, even if the DPRK used nukes first. The reasons are manifold, and include the political costs (domestic + international) of using nuclear weapons against a captive and largely innocent people, as well as the actual nuclear fallout that would effect nearby neighbours.

On second thought, if the DPRK were to nuke New York or something, I can't see how the US could afford not to nuke back without looking weak. At the same time, that would probably trigger a nuclear apocalypse scenario pretty quickly with retaliation from China and the like.

It's not the goal of most people, because most people don't agree with you. Including most of us developers who love and use free software. This idea that we have to infantalize users by "protecting them" from developers who "deny them their freedom" is radical, to most of us silly, and to many of us offensive.

Most of us will teach our children about free software while not demonizing proprietary software or its developers.
So glad I'm not the only one who hates this.
> Most designers could never create something that's better than the basic bootstrap framework

Maybe? Are you meaning 'most' in the more general of terms (in which case I'd argue most programmers couldn't even use bootstrap because most implies > 50% and many programmers are terrible at front end web development)?

Maybe I'm just used to high quality designers but I haven't worked with one yet that couldn't do just that.
I agree with you. It's a pretty, modern looking template that suits a variety of products.

Good design is hard, and good designers are expensive. Wouldn't you rather have the default design be a good one, instead of paying shitty designers to make shitty designs and use that as the default look for the web?

For reference, we haven't spent any time trying to optimize the react website for perf. Also that front page really needs to be rethought, we haven't updated it since launch...

I don't understand why it got downvotes.

Hey I never said it wasn't cost effective just unimaginative :). Not everyone has the time nor money to be more imaginative than a default and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that nor is it even needed all of the time.

I was once in an accident caused by the driver using cruise control. My driver had his feet relaxed and off the pedals when a car swerved in front of us.. he reacted by going to hit the brakes and because his feet were not in a position where he knew the relative position of the pedals, he hit the accelerator instead of the brake. We swerved off the highway down an embankment at 75-80mph. We were all very lucky to be relatively uninjured, but to this day I refuse to touch cruise control or any other automated driving features. I don't know if modern adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance would have helped in my case, but I really, really don't trust a driver who is relaxed and not being constantly vigilant.

"At night, the elderly Chinese dance in the streets in unison avoiding any displays of individuality."
What is this? To avoid any display of individuality??? I just marvel at this wishful thinking. They do that in unison because it's fun to do activities with other people sharing the same interest. If i'm playing Starcraft with a bunch of friends, am I avoiding display of individuality? Why can't the biased eyes just state the obvious that the elderly are just enjoying themselves.

Honestly I've seen way better NK photos and way better wishful NK journalism. Why is this even on Hacker News?
I'll add: the React site uses the (larger and slower) development build of React because it can be useful to people visiting the site. Ordinarily you would use the prod build. Not to mention the lack of script bundling and inefficient (blocking) loading. Just hasn't been a priority for us.
Or we could just stop sending food aid.

I wrote an article about a year ago on why Chocolatey is just broken, pretty much all of the issues are still there except a bandaid here and there,
https://medium.com/@keivan/why-chocolatey-is-broken-beyond-a...
I'd rather the default design have some actual damn information rather than a few vague feelgood phrases and some unrelated stock photos. Bonus points if they don't make me watch a 5 minute video full of exciting music and artsy slow-mo footage of "cloth sliding off a thing" or "people laughing in a park" and still give me no idea what their stupid product actually does.

I know this is a gripe about the content rather than the presentation, but seriously, so many websites based on this kind of template are a total waste of my time and attention.
Modifying templates is actually surprisingly difficult - not technically difficult but just because its so hard to make the changes look as good as the original. Often it seems to me that -only- the original text or images will work with the template as changing any of the contents throws off the alignment, color balance, typography, etc for everything else. For example - the template that the OP is ranting about looks terrible because he used far too much text in most of the sections. Unfortunately, 99.9% of templates can't actually be modified by non-designers since there seems to be no combination of changes that will look good. On that note: the design that OP is using is actually the only template I've ever gotten to work with my own content (I stay away from web design for this reason) so maybe the problem is an abundance of poor designs that are too brittle to modify by non-designers?
> It received way too much beating from the community in the last couple of years..

I think it didn't get the beating it deserve. If it was by merit alone, this language should be dead by now. People keep saying that it is improving. But actually it is not. The rotten core, what makes php php, very much remain, and it is still a very dangerous language to use for anything serious [1].

> A few tens of febuaries is enough to get an estimate of the standard deviation, no?

Yes, but even if this point is a significant outlier, there is no telling that it's not random variation (p-values only talk about probabilities, they never prove anything not imply causal relationships) and on top of that you don't have a model to predict the future. Forecasts out of existing data values/limits are usually extremely unreliable.

So what's the best practice when it comes to valid html? This seems like a cool technology but trying to validate the https://www.ampproject.org/ site, the w3c validator fails so bad it's not even able to list all errors. The example post does a bit better but is still pretty far from valid html5.

Is there a way to do it in a standardised way or should that even be desired? All browsers I've tried seem to render it fine and quickly (assuming js and the normal bells and whistles).
These days if you spend 5 figures on a custom web design it's probably going to be perceived as amateurish by all the users conditioned on standard looking Bootstrap templates.
Investigative journalism at it's best. /s
The problem is not so much Bootstrap, or the template, but the bullcrap that many of these landing pages loaded with just because the template that the designer got has all these placeholders they they have got to replace with.

You are correct about the distribution licensing, however that really only applies to the packages on the community feed. When Chocolatey is used internally, I think you will see it is more about files on disk versus dealing with things changing and the non-deterministic nature of the internet.

I also found the captions off putting and unnecessary, so much so that I felt compelled to tell him as much on his facebook page.

Having spent a considerable amount of time in eastern Europe (where the photographer is from), it has been my observation that, at least anecdotally, considerably more people from these regions (as opposed to more mature democracies) are emotionally unprepared to look at political issues from a neutral perspective. His comments are heavy with his own experiences and prejudices. It's an understandable reaction to growing up in a repressive regime however it seems highly biased to more neutral observers.
Maybe it's because I'm not a front-end developer, but I fail to see the issue here. Besides the weird scrolling.

As a backend dev, I enjoy the ease with which I can set up a Bootstrap site on my side projects. I'm not good at CSS, so I'll use a Bootstrap theme. It'll make things look all right, and I can focus on content and making the backend work. Later I can return to the styling.

I don't think every site needs to be wholly new and incredibly imaginative. In fact, the uniformity makes it easier for me to process the content.

Bootstrap is great for, well, bootstrapping. Should it be your final CSS when you've had a lot of time to think about your design? I dunno. But I feel that the hate is unwarranted.
It may have issues, but it's a lot better than downloading and installing apps by hand.
> The language is improving drastically

This is a myth. It is adding new features. That does not mean it is improving.
Same here. It's really really nice for administrative interfaces: forms, buttons, table grids, error states, labels, etc.

Everything looks good and the people that actually have to use it don't even know what "Bootstrap" is, but they aren't looking at the result of a programmer doing a half-assed job styling something only 10 people will ever see.

Great article, agree with 99% of it. What AWS did better than anyone else is building TONS of software (and it's still doing that at an immense speed) on top of their infrastructure. Everyone else is still too focused on hardware/network etc, while the real advantage of something like AWS, the real disruption are things like Lambda or CloudFormation. I can see Microsoft and Google doing it, getting it but not others at the moment. AWS won the battle with developers: everyone we meet, everyone is building software today, loves AWS. Just a coincidence? That's something you can clearly see everywhere in communities, articles, Reddit, HackerNews. Everyone loves to build software with AWS and that's going to become even bigger with something like Lambda, that is just at the beginning of the serverless age. That's where I think Microsoft and Google will struggle the most, trying to replicate this for developers with their platform. And you are right: documentation for these services still sucks a lot in most cases.
I do understand your point, there is a lot of ego-stroking going on in the community, and I loathe it as well... but this page? This is just a demonstration of Either, one of the simpler types!

While I agree that's it's been over used, I have to wonder if it's better to put your limited time on making a unique website rather than putting this time into making a better product?.
It's not about being unwilling to pay for real design. You have to realize that most clients who buy these themes are getting a serious upgrade from their 1990s-era websites with table layouts and basic inline styling. So if a cheap theme can provide such amazing value, at that point the value a real designer can provide becomes marginal in comparison.
I put it in production, and it's something else. Whether I'd use it at home depends entirely on how rich I feel I am ;)

I laughed at that point because I completely agree that NuGet v2 isn't great at all. Also you forgot to mention that NuGet v3 is brand new and there isn't yet published documentation on how to get from one format to the next - https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/1870. Not sure how fast you expect Chocolatey to adopt NuGet v3, but it's a bit much to throw this argument in here as a reason NOT to use Chocolatey.

The problem as I see it is not that templates like these are all over the web now and therefore look generic, but rather their designs tend to encourage very shallow messaging on the website. Take the four icons displayed in the middle for example. Most websites have them, and almost none of them say anything of meaning or value. It's just marketing slogans and sound-bytes.
"Think carefully before using Chocolatey. It is not, never has been, and never will be the default package system for Windows."

I actually disagree with this "improvement" in all but one of seven of his CSS declarations. The default font size, the pure black on pure white, line height, and default margins are all fine in default plain HTML pages. However, since computer screens have increased in width since the first web pages were designed, I've added this user style to all pages I visit.

p { max-width: 50em; }

I challenge everyone to go for an entire day with CSS disabled (View -> Page Style -> No Style on Firefox). It will help your design skills if you are a designer.
