The eternal battle of complexity vs. simplicity in web development! On the left, we've got a modern "state-of-the-art" Next.js app with all its fancy LLMS assistance—probably 200MB of node_modules and 17 different build steps just to show "Hello World." Meanwhile, on the right, that dusty Perl CGI script from the 90s is still chugging along on some forgotten server, handling thousands of requests without breaking a sweat. Sure, the code might look like someone headbutted a keyboard, but it WORKS. And that's the punchline—both ultimately do the same thing, despite one being wrapped in layers of modern complexity. The old guard didn't have Stack Overflow or AI assistants—they had coffee, determination, and a manual. Built different indeed.
