People should stop treating the dom and browser abstraction as golden standard. It's just an abstration that happens to be standardized. Sometimes it makes sense to follow the standard, sometimes "the standard" is just too shitty to follow.
- int_19h 2y agoThat's my point - if the standard is so shitty in this area that everybody reinvents this particular wheel in a hacky way, the standard should be improved.
- nsonha 2y agoThat's cool but people need to ship products while their ideas for improvement are endlessly debated, bikeshedded and possibly rejected eventually. At the end the standard is never what they exactly wanted. So it's kinda a futile effort, and for what? Most don't write code for 3rd party consumption, where standards shine.
