I remember how I have been downvoted to oblivion for comparing JavaScript madness with Java EE "packer's" paradise years ago. The Programmer's Stone first essay is actual as it never been before. Actually, it is a common pattern. When some activity becomes popular due to very low barrier to enter it will end up in a such kind of mess. It seems like nowadays everyone is either a programmer or a scientist and researcher. This is the quality of their software and research. There has been a reason why good schools taught principles (algorithms and data structures) not particulars (objects and classes). But since MIT and Berkeley dropped Scheme-based courses in favor of "pragmatic" Python (thank god not JavaScript) based courses we are heading to a disaster. Java madness taught us nothing. History is full of examples where assault by mediocrity ruined the whole branches of philosophy, arts and crafts. Instead we have fastfood, mass media, social media and now this mass coding, which combines worst from mass and social. Just try to compare things like Smalltalk or Plan9 or R4RS Scheme or Zeta LISP of Symbolics or with this stuff.
