 I need to start looking into HTMX more seriously. While I'll talk crap, I feel like a JS is a necessary evil at this point, it's just a huge percentage of the job market now.

 Clarify, TS specifically, I can't work with weakly typed languages, it just isn't for me. I started using PHP when they introduced strict typing semantics :)

You must learn to handle everything server side. HATEOAS

Think differently. It weird at first, and the longer you've been using JS traditionally the harder it's going to be to re-wire your brain to program that way. It seems wrong at first but then the code base is so much smaller and less worry about how the client behaves because most compute is server side.
