As a self employed MSP I do very little programming. Sometimes I have to make some small site or tool for a client and I never got warm with the modern webdev tools like Vue or react.

It just seemed so bloated having to npm hundred of libraries with sub dependencies to write a little tool.

When I started using HTMX my whole work flow changed and I can whip up a MSP in under a day with zero external dependencies or libraries besides htmx and pico css (or sometimes bootstrap)

It's fast, it's easy and it made web dev fun again (for me)
