    As a security and DevOps engineer, HTMX has been such a pain in my butt lately.

    Something are broken? -> Web devs blame WAF -> Me debugs and researches for hours when I has better stuff to do -> Finally me: WAF is fine. Is your broken JavaScript. Wut do? -> Web devs: Not know, write in HTMX, JS is abstracted, now we fix. -> 15 minutes later web devs: We fix! We do basic thing wrong! Now learn something new about HTMX. -> Me: Great. Thanks so much for that.

      I didn’t quite follow.

      They’re using htmx, make errors, and learning something new about using it?

      That’s like using any new tech though, right? Or - depending on the devs - happens even with established tech.

      I’ve never seen htmx in production. I find it interesting though and want to explore using it. That won’t be at work though. :)
