I like how the speaker starts out by saying that this video is intended for people who look at modern, framework-based Javascript code and think 'Why can't I just use jQuery, jQuery at least makes sense', then shows us three examples that go from reasonably easy to understand to completely incomprehensible. These front-end frameworks seem to have been built with no thought to entry-level developers, they're just layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of poorly explained complexity intended to solve problems that most developers are never going to encounter. My head hurts right now.

how to complicate life and be unhappy devs. You must put the fu--ing .js file in the head, pubblish in FTP and boom. No model, no worker, No package, no binding, no events, no classes, no unit test, no webpack, no redux... no, no and NO. JavaScript is for scripting STOP. When you Need something you write the function and call them. Node is not a web-server, electron is not a desktop language. The entire JavaScript dev community need a vacation. This is not Evolution, this is involution of JavaScript!

I'm happy the video was released and we get to see it, but my god, who decided to film this pointed right at such a busy door? It was driving me insane with people constantly walking in and out and just standing in the door eating.

I hate the complexity it adds for nothing ... its already easy to do stuff with nodejs + php mysql, you certainly need other stuffs but the more you add the worse the archetecture is, its over engineered

Brilliant presentation! Maybe one stage that's missing in this evolution is Require.js - a major step in writing modular code, which preceded Webpack
