Readit Newsthe supply chain moved to asia and the just so stories about ricardian free trade + an inflated stock market made everyone believe, while the ultra-rich got ultra-ultra-rich
and now we sit down to our banquet of consequences
Managing the same state will have the same complexity on the server as it does on the client. HTMX's smugness is a huge turnoff.

while I certainly try to be funny online, I hope I'm reasonably even handed about the tradeoffs associated with the hypermedia approach:
It’s a chance to start all over yet again! Come on- we’re all up for that, we do it every few months!
Why do you think the corruption would remain constant? When you have more centers of power, each tiny oligarchy is fighting for their piece of the pie. If they don't do something unethical, some other group might outcompete them. Meanwhile if you have more concentrated power, those in charge can think long term and won't be immediately threatened by the competition.
billionares love mass democracy because it is dominated by media and turns into one-dollar-one-vote, centralizing the government in an easily controllable power center
the solution is to have many centers of power and to distribute the corruption, which remains constant
i think the best solution to this dynamic is many smaller units (states, companies, etc) so that oligarchies compete with one another, but this requires a type of system design and a vibe largely out of favor in todays world (e.g. secession & trust-busting for governments & corporations, respectively)

in addition to native html features like <details>, etc.
htmx can often decrease the number of trips to a server because in the hypermedia model you are encouraged to deliver all the content for a UI in one fell swoop, rather than in a series of chatty JSON requests that may be made due to opaque reactive hooks.
Missed on: mobile, custom chips in the data center, graphics cards, ai, and building out fab services they can sell.
Meanwhile, they took at least 5 years off of making their chips faster, and we're treated to the absurdity that the m-series chips are as performant in single core as anything Intel can build on a power budget 1/10th of Intel's.
I'm not sure what that has to do with outsourcing? It looks more like a comprehensive lack of execution.
