As a backend person, sometimes I look at what's being done for front end stuff and pull back in ever so slight horror.

It's an excellent article, and the work within is very well done, but there's a part of me that screams "Why would you introduce this much complexity for what should be a simple scroll?" (overcoming technical hurdles to produce the desired end result aside).

You say "backend" but I'm guessing you're not talking about modern cloud infrastructure work, the complexity at which I (as a frontend person) scream in similar abject horror.

As a DevOps engineer who’s spent the last decade specialising in cloud infrastructure, I whole heartedly agree with your scream of horror.
