I had lit in a project at work and not having to deal with it anymore is just great. We already have another heavier component framework to do the actual application stuff anyway, so having two just because somebody wanted to optimize their resume was such a drag.

It all looked nice in theory, but one thing shadow DOM makes worse is A11y, because element ids are now scoped and all the missing describe-by, label-for for things that should link to other side of the fence are a massive pain in the ass.

Big part of it is just skill issue on our part of course.

Does this actually happen a lot? Allowing for the fact that people would rarely admit to it just being about resume padding, I feel like just wanting to _use_ the thing is a far more common motivation for poorly rationalised technology choices.
