My root partition is 20 GB and it's full.

I'm still using all the same software I was fifteen years ago when it was 500 MB and mostly empty.

Why are programmers like this? Hardware hasn't meaningfully improved in a decade, but programmers are still continuously bloating up their projects like it's still the '90s and hard drives and processors and RAM are just going to get so good and so cheap that it doesn't matter. They're still running this endless update sprint that means that at least once a year, I have to take a full day to upgrade and then go through all my dotfiles to get everything to work again, because of course not breaking backward compatibility isn't a priority.

What's it all for? Literally no aspect of my computing experience is better than it was ten, twenty years ago—everything is bigger and slower and less convenient—but people keep pouring in effort, and expecting me to pour in commensurate effort, as if we've been building a new world from scratch for years, and we have nothing to show for it except higher version numbers and more money spent on computers that do nothing the old ones didn't.

It's all free software—why do we fall for the capitalist's scam?

Bootstrap isn't a browser feature. Serving up different websites (or different CSS) for different browser types is over twenty years old. None of it should be the problem of the end user.
You are shit at your job.

Media queries (the ones you mean, at least) are cruft. You could do it all with Javascript if you wanted to, and the reason almost nobody did is because it isn't worth doing.

pretending all this shit existed when even just like 5 years ago tons of sites were still unoptimized for mobile devices.

That's because people like you are incompetent and lazy and trying to blame end users for it instead of taking responsibility, not because of any change in available browser features.

Can you pull your head out of your ass for just five seconds? I've written and maintained dozens of websites across almost twenty years, and most of them in the last five. I guarantee that I have more experience doing ``modern'' web dev than you do. Me realising there's no value in whatever bullshit fad you're jerking off to today is not because I don't know about it.
I get it, the sunk cost fallacy is real and it's hard to admit that your professional life is a bad joke at your expense. That doesn't mean it isn't.
