I think the general point holds up, but why is sass in that list? I know some newer alternatives are used with React nowadays, but sass is still very much a best practice in general as far as I'm aware.

(If he means SASS vs SCSS syntax, I recall using SCSS ~8 years ago, so it's an odd choice to include either way.)

So... people who hate learning should use SSR?

Once you've used grunt, using gulp is not a big logical jump. Then to webpack. Whatever, they're just build scripts! Roll your own shell scripts if you want! A day to learn them, or a lifetime of being a hater.

Oh, thanks. I somehow totally misread that and thought he meant those JS tech were still relevant.
