To all people who hardcoded stuff like tables in HTML and even rant about how much work this was or how many lines of code they wrote, please stop the madness, please don't talk until you get the basics of programming and why computers are quite handy to handle repetitive tasks.

As someone who's out-of-touch and isn't dealing with web-development, what other options are there instead of hard-coding tables?

@MatanRad nearly everything I've seen posted could be done in few lines of JS

Ahh I see you are an angry person like myself :) I like u.

Back to the topic at hand. I agree completely

@MatanRad tables are still good for tabular data. Just not for layout or design. Use Flexbox/grid or even float layouts for that responsively. And not hardcoding is the way to go to keep data separate from the layout or presentation of the data so if you want the presentation to change or is required to change due to the input data then it is much easier to do so with separation of each.
