And then some fronted developers wonder how/why anyone would browse the Web with JavaScript blocked. This is why. (Plus malware. Plus privacy. Plus performance issues.) Thankfully the blog renders without JS.

- throwanem 10y agoNot all of us care. If you want me to take an application that does complex, possibly computationally expensive client-side work and extend it so that it also supports doing the same work server-side because you refuse to run the application code locally, I'm happy to do so at my regular hourly rate plus the amortized cost of whatever additional infrastructure is required. If you want all that extra work and ongoing cost for free, you're welcome to go on wanting. On the other hand, I wouldn't build a blog with this kind of highlight popup nonsense in the first place, because it's stupid and annoying; I'd do it in the end if a client insisted, but I'd also try hard to build a case around user engagement (or lack of same) that the time and cost of doing it would be wasted. So we may not be talking to the same point here.
