    Oh yeah, it’s totally JavaScript that’s the reason that news and magazine websites suck. It’s totally not the financial incentives of advertising that cause them to only care about the user experience so far as they get clicks. This totally wouldn’t have been the exact same result if new media did everything on the backend and underfunded their backend dev teams. /S

    Jesus Christ, why do these inane articles keep coming up? The authors have the reasoning skills of “when I look into the sun my eyes hurt, therefor the sun is bad”.

      To be fair, there are a lot of inane articles saying this exact same thing about javascript. If its true, its ancient history, and I’m tired of it. I learned javascript when it was a babe, and watched many other platforms fall by the wayside. I’m not defending anything about it, but javascript works. Still.
