For the avoidance of doubt, let me be crystal clear: the only reason I don't *usually* say that so-called modern frontend is a Ponzi scheme is that it's mostly private firms burning funny money. If you're doing something that *really matters*, put the JS *down*. HTML or bust.https://twitter.com/allafarce/status/1240848110252732416 …

For government websites I’m certainly in agreement that static HTML is the way to go. Less sold on the “only serious projects are static” logic.

I'm saying something different: it's not about static, it's about reach. Do whatever you can to improve the experience, but *start with reach as the primary consideration*. You can probably afford some JS! But not as much as the JS-industrial-complex wants to sell you.
