How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Website
summary
Behance evolves from vanilla CSS into Less then Sass, builds a pattern library, and pieces new Vue + CSS Modules components into a live site behind feature flags while planning a shift to React; the codebase spans about 50 pages, 500 JavaScript files and nearly 1,000 templates, and teams once committed compiled CSS for five years. Homegrown MVC and overengineered Sass library carry technical debt, single-page apps like Adobe Portfolio force new tooling, and incremental rewrites trade perfection for deployable progress.
