This is a fucking website.

It loads. It displays text. It does not summon twelve frameworks, four analytics parasites, a hydration ritual, and a million lines of JavaScript just to show you a paragraph.

Seriously, what the fuck happened?

Websites used to open. You clicked a link and the page appeared. Now every fucking thing needs a spinner, a skeleton loader, a cookie banner, a modal, a chat widget, a newsletter ambush, three megabytes of icons, and some JavaScript priesthood chanting over a div until your laptop starts breathing like a dying vacuum cleaner.

Congratulations. You made a document take six seconds to become a document.

Your website does not need a data center to say hello.

Somewhere out there, ten billion CPUs are being cooked alive so a button can fade in with tasteful easing. A gorillion watts of power are being shoveled into the furnace because some product goblin decided the settings page needed animated cards, remote configuration, feature flags, AI summaries, telemetry, and a fucking achievement badge.

It is a settings page. It should be a list of settings.

And now the AI hype circus is eating the hardware too.

Every AI company with a pitch deck and a god complex is hoovering up CPUs, GPUs, RAM, SSDs, electricity, cooling, and common sense. Prices go up. Availability goes down. Everyone claps because a chatbot can generate a meeting summary nobody asked for.

Meanwhile your perfectly working software gets “AI-powered” and suddenly needs an account, a cloud connection, a subscription, and permission to analyze your fucking soul.

Vibe coding is not engineering.

Sloppy vibe coding is out here “fixing” one security vulnerability by creating ten more. The old bug let someone read a file. The new fix lets them read the file, delete the file, become the file, invoice the file, and deploy the file to production on a Friday.

Then someone writes a postmortem called learnings, adds another dependency, and calls it resilience.

Stop destroying software that already worked.

Some money-hungry tech leader wakes up, sees a stable piece of software, and thinks: “What if we ruined this with AI, removed half the settings, made it slower, and charged more for the privilege?”

Perfectly working websites get redesigned into fog machines. Perfectly working apps get replaced with heavy, sticky, GUI-only sludge. Perfectly working software gets “modernized” until the only modern thing about it is how efficiently it wastes your time.

The command line was fine, you cowards.

The command line works. It is fast. It is scriptable. It is precise. It does not need a rounded rectangle, a hover state, an onboarding tour, and a fucking mascot.

But no. Everything has to become a GUI. Then the GUI gets heavier. Then the heavy GUI hides the useful options. Then the useful options get removed because “users were confused.” No, they were not confused. They were using the software. You were confused by competence.

Settings are disappearing.

Every new version removes another checkbox, another config file, another escape hatch. The old software said: “Here are the tools. Configure them.”

The new software says: “We made the decision for you.”

Fuck that.

Here is the entire fucking philosophy.

• Make the page load fast.
• Make the text readable.
• Make links behave like links.
• Make buttons behave like buttons.
• Do not ship a nuclear reactor to render a form.
• Do not replace configuration with vibes.
• Do not staple AI onto software that needed bug fixes.
• Do not destroy working tools because an executive needed a keynote slide.

This is not nostalgia. This is basic fucking respect.

Respect the user’s battery. Respect their bandwidth. Respect their time. Respect their machine. Respect the fact that not every computer on earth is a maxed-out developer laptop sitting next to a fiber connection and a cold brew.

A website should not need to warm the planet just to tell me your office hours.

Good software does the job. Bad software makes the job about the software.

FUCKKKK.

Anyway, this is a website. It is text. It works. You can read it. You can save it. You can view source. You can host it on a potato. It does not need AI. It does not need a dashboard. It does not need a growth team.

It just needs to fucking load.
