I get a blank screen.
Why yes, I do browse without Javascript.
I feel sad that people can't even make a page that degrades gracefully these days. A resume is mostly text. What's hard about that?
- sentientslug 2y agoDevil’s advocate, just because YOU choose to break the browsing experience for yourself doesn’t mean anyone else should have to adhere to that.

- kjkjadksj 2y agoThere are people who might access the web with screenreaders and other affordances who also suffer broken experience due to js religious like adherence. Should we tell them sorry, the internet is for the able bodied, or do we make affordances for the disabled like we do in the physical world?

- MrVandemar 2y agoIt is about accessibility, though not necessarily screen-readers. I live in a rural area and, aside from the tracking shit they cram in, mountains of Javascript (and CSS) materially affect my ability to connect, browse and communicate. Accessibility is also about where you live, and we don't all live in cities.

- ericxanderson 2y agoOk, I'm like one of those Nigerian princes and don't need to waste my time with potential employers who don't use JavaScript.
