Web development is a fucking mess. Why is there hundreds of things to download, manage, and all of them depend on another tool? Framework dev teams, can you stop creating dev tools for dev tools that is intended to alter development? How the fuck do people even handle this pile of mess? They must be superhumans.

It's the low barrier to entry, combined with the certainty many devs hold, that their methods and habits are the best. Add in the seemingly endless drive to make things easier for people who don't know the underlying languages plus the desire to be net famous and/or rich, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

There's an endless fascination with "can I put out a toolkit" that I really wish we replaced with "should I put out a toolkit"
