Javascript is a platform that gave developers the ability to modify the core UX of web browsers. That's a platform problem, not a builders problem - if you don't want crappy apps on the web that break things, then don't give developers the power to break things.

- vladms 1y agoI find this a strange way of thinking on a site called "hacker" news... In my opinion there is NO problem. We have powerful tools that give you freedom and the possibility of tinkering. Some people will use it in ways one doesn't like, but as long as you have some possibility to use other products I think it is great. I wouldn't trust anybody (including myself) to decide for all others what are the powers that should be given or not. The web architecture is amazing exactly because it allows everybody to build without some large body/organization/company imposing most rules.
