Imagine a box full of leftover HDMI, USB, power cords, and that one random LPT or serial (you can't remember) all tangled together. You know you have this box or had one till you finally said "eff it" and purged it. But you know what I'm talking about.

Now imagine the same thing, but it is snakes tangled together instead of cables.

Now imagine the same thing, but it is your leftover xmas lights, some of which you still have even though that one bulb is broken making part the lights not work.

Now imagine they're all in the same box actually. And you have a machine that makes these boxes on demand. Your own little cord-snake-lights-in-a-box factory. It's even nice enough to put a bow on the box for you.

Now slap a label on the box that says "reactive". You don't know why, but just do it.

There is the current front end development landscape.
