When we talk about #consumerism my scarcity brought up me thinks “cute, they bought one too many cups that will never get used”. But I guess some people (cultures?) swim in objective cr*p they know won’t use. But somehow owning == happiness.

“An ice roller (I think for my face?)An e-reader remote (so I can click differently?)At least six pairs of leggings (for workouts I've never done)A suitcase (that broke within six months)An air fryer (…of course)So. Many. Candles.So. Much. Underwear.Every skincare product I’ve ever owned”

From my experience the job of a frontend framework is to seamlessly work with data. That’s it. The extra visuals, animations, layouts, etc will come and go and will be replaced like socks without users even noticing. But getting the data question right is the hard and important bit.
