That's a great way of putting what I've been thinking for a few years now. It's the same reason I designed https://immaculata.dev so differently than Vite. Sure I could throw a ton of code at the problem, but carefully solving the problem correctly is both simpler and harder.

Exactly, which is part of the charm of HN. I want to capture that for 90s.dev but focused solely on software skill cultivation (and sharing the wonder and beauty and joy of writing software in the 90s) rather than the topic-soup of HN.
