To someone attempting to return to web dev after a break of a decade or so, my normal response is incredulity at the absolute horrorshow that's arisen.

This is probably the ultimate cliched comment but I honestly cannot understand how any self-respecting developer can work with this xxxx and look themselves in the mirror.
