I think you would be pleasantly surprised by the direction web dev is moving if you gave it a chance.
For example, I suspect that you think one of the ways the web has gotten shittier is because sites are too bloated and JavaScript frameworks are too heavy and slow.
One of the key takeaways is that, across almost all frameworks and stacks, web dev is moving back to doing as much work on the server-side as possible, while retaining the minimum necessary interactivity via Islands of Interactivity with much lighter JavaScript than what was pushed for the last decade.
I’ll save you some time: the web will be made shittier still. I didn’t watch. That’s just what I’ve observed to be true.

This is welcome news. Thanks for giving me a bit of optimism.
