JavaScript programmer is cheaper. And so the decision was excellent.

Javascript on a local machine would be easier to settup than a network. But I've installed linux from floppies before and so I know how to do each by hand. If you rely on a standare distribution it sets up the network and starts a browser automatically so you just need to set a url which seems easier - but only because the complexity is hidden.

If you're happy with this then you can't complain when things get enshittified

There might have been some sarcasm included.

Ah sorry, my sarcasm detector was running on us-east-1 ;)
