It is achieved through a never ending parade of self aggrandizement.
What Justine is very good at is presenting trivial concepts from a world which few front end developers understand in a language that most front end developers understand.
I had the misfortune of having to find out about her because of how thoroughly she polluted the google search space for lisp with her implementation of sector lisp. For some reason google decided that sector lisp needed to be in the top 5 results for every query about `minimal lisp with quotation` even when quotation wasn't implemented in her version.
- cl3misch 3y ago> presenting trivial concepts from a world which few front end developers understand in a language that most front end developers understand Completely ignoring the JT discussion, the argument that something is trivial in some area does not really hold. 1) Science is mostly "just" connecting the dots, and 2) landmark discoveries tend to look trivial in hindsight almost by definition, because they have to be straightforward enough to be widely adopted.
