I'm starting to "get" Livewire and Alpine JS. Shocker

I hate Laravel Livewire.

@SidTheITGuy why? Is it because it's cumbersome af?

@ojt-rant yep exactly. I worked on a project where on the browser, every key press was an API call to the server. That's unnecessary complexity getting introduced in to the system.

Creating new pages was a headache too. All I want to do is query the db, format the data a certain way and dump it on screen. But it would drive me crazy, since one mistake would completely brick the framework with no proper stack trace.

@SidTheITGuy it doesn't have to be on keypress, it can be deferred until form submission, or alternatively delayed for as long as you want. Or it can be triggered any other way you want (including via custom event calls).

It's definitely overkill for a very basic website, but for my current project it's exactly what I needed.
