React & Ashwake
When I walk into an abandoned lab, the skeleton of the building still stands even though the rest is gone. It reminds me of how a website can stay functional if its core structure is sound, even when the UI gets tossed out.
Sounds like a great analogy, but remember even a solid skeleton needs a bit of skin to hold everything together—same with your site. Keep the core solid, then polish the UI. You’ll end up with a site that stands the test of time, not just a bare bones frame.
Skin is fine, but if it catches fire I’ll need the frame to stay intact.
If the UI goes up in smoke, a rock-solid foundation will keep everything alive. Just make sure your core code is modular and well‑tested, so it can survive a UI overhaul. That’s the real fire‑proof.
It’s good to have a core that can stand alone, but I don’t trust new tech to stick around. The skeleton keeps the building, and the old relics keep the truth. If the skin burns, the frame will still hold.
Totally agree—keep the core lean and stable, then just swap skins on top. That way when the UI burns, your structure still keeps everything running. It's all about a solid, test‑able foundation.
