And I certainly agree that HTML is unfit for human consumption. It is like x64 assembler code: You should not need to see it. But the real world isn't like that: Look in this forum: How do you indicated boldface, italics and underline? I really look forward to the day when I have seen the last HTML, ever. But I am realistic: That probably is the day I have seen anything for the last time.

I've been doing web development since around 2K starting with classic ASP, some PHP, and now .NET WebForms. I avoid most of the problems you described by simply using what I know. I have no need to minify/uglify my JavaScript/css (it's already ugly enough!)...I'm sure there is a benefit to doing so, but it doesn't seem worth the hassle. If someone wants to read/copy my crappy JavaScript/css then have at it!
The bottom line is that given a choice, I'll always go for the simplest solution possible using a mature and familiar framework/stack. I will avoid third party widgets including jQuery when possible and use the lowest required framework version required. It may not be easier, but it's predictable and I have a slew of personal code/projects to draw from.
Good luck with all that obfuscation!

For example, I've created arrgh.js, a JavaScript library that brings LINQ to JavaScript.
The file is 2656 lines long and takes up 107 kb.
The minimized file is 9 lines (of which 8 are the license ) and 19 kb.
That's a win of 88 kb or over 80% file size reduction!
You can imagine the gains when you have even more JavaScript.
That will make your web pages load faster and faster loading times also mean faster SEO (and of course a better UX), so for some people it's really important.
Despite the problems I'm having, I wouldn't want to trade
Vue.js is really awesome and it makes working with HTML and JavaScript SO MUCH EASIER.
I hate CSS with the fiery passion of a million suns, so I've been welcoming LESS and now SCSS and SASS.
Bootstrap has been a welcome addition as well since it takes some CSS misery away.
The only problem is getting it all to work
SCSS/SASS requires transpiling, which requires some front-end framework.
Once it works it mostly works though, and if I wasn't doing this, I'd lost the day doing CSS instead of Webpack.
The difference is that Webpack now works for me, while I still have many days of CSS ahead, which I can now write in SCSS

Tomorrow I'm leaving for vacation on the island of Texel, sadly the weather forecast is not that good.
Of course after having weeks of beautiful sunny weather
So don't worry if my CodeProject profile will be even lower than usual ...

Enjoy your time off
See you on your return
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I didn't know where it was and had to look it up, so I also looked up the forecast. 12C-13C and windy most of the week. I hope they're wrong.

As we like to do a lot of biking the weather is quite important to us, otherwise we will have to resort to the pool of the resort as a last resort
|
|
|
|
|
As the scouts use to say, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing.
|
|
|
|
|
I hope that pool is heated!

Yes the pool of the resort was heated!
We also visited Ecomare, and I could resist jumping in the basin with the seals

Oh my. Texel is still there! I went there, with my then girlfriend, as part of my first run-through of Europe, traveling there from Amsterdam by way of Edam. That was about 1972.
It was part, oddly enough, of one of the few disparaging words to come from the mouth of a Dutchman: "Texel? You mean the German colony?". When we arrived, what he meant became all too clear.
The beach, well, infested with overweight Germans in Speedo's - each with a camper on a beach where the ground (sand?) could barely be found. Also, even though it was late July, it was rather nippy.
Not to worry - we had an nice place to stay in Amsterdam "H88[^]" it was called. On Herengracht & Herrenstrass (spelled someway or another). Right on the canals. All those people sweeping their steps clean. The streets out through and including the canals were rather 'filthy', but from their steps on back (into the hostel) it was amazingly well cleaned.
We also toured the Heineken factory. The funny part: I discovered there that I like beer. It was beer in (steel) cans I didn't like. And they just kept serving it. I was seriously blitzed. So, when it was time to get on the tram and go back to H88 - well I was the one who knew the way. At least before all the beer. We almost used up our two-hour tram time until I figured it out.
Another memorable event was "The Beanery[^]" in the Stedelijk Museum
Anyway, better luck for you than us on Texel !

You are right, I avoided Texel until now because it is the most touristic of the Wadden islands, but as we got a voucher for our cancelled vacation in Belgium we did not have much of a choice.
As long as you avoid the summer season, Texel is fine btw. and we did enjoy our stay.

I believe you, but still, it was in the very early 1970's and I'm still traumatized by the overweight Germans in Speedos filling the beach in what may well have been a breeding colony.
For me, it's PTSD (obviously Post Texel Stress Disorder).

Seriously, I want your recipes that make you fat. Got quite a lot of recipes here; seems software-writers enjoy their foods. My favourite until now is one that includes coffee-milk. Doesn't contain as much calories as I guessed, but tastes well and makes you eat more. So, counts as a high-calorie meal. *)
There's quite some people looking to gain weight. @57kg, I got nothing better to do; I want to gather a lot of recipes that make one fat. The more butter, the better.
If it results in a cookbook I will credit your arse. Send me your recipes. Not the ones based on lettuce without calories, but your sinfull ones. Gimme the ones you can't resist. I want your grandma's christmas recipes.
My approach isn't agile in this one; it is SDM, waterfall. Might just work. And yes, thinking about collecting them in a cooking book, for those seeking to gain weight.
I promise I will post pictures of my reproductions.
*) @Mycroft; your wife's recipe, it was great. I humbly ask for the complete recipe. If you near I'll pay back and take you to the best brewery there is.

Aw, that's perfect for in between meals, innit? And hard to resist too, if you have them.

Sigh.
I promised to try, so have to gonna convert. Didn't promise to do so in this lifetime, no? Would you reckon it worth the trouble of doing math?

If you want to gain weight you need to make sure your blood sugar swings a lot.
High blood sugar makes the liver create fat from the sugar for later use (Very simplified).
Low blood sugar makes the body think it's starving, so it creates more enzymes to use the food better, for when you later eat.
So eat seldom and a lot.
Make sure you eat a lot from fat, protein as well as starch, and best of all sugar, at the same time. to make sure you use up all those enzymes.
