Every web framework is _literally_ a hack to make the web something it isn’t
This sentence is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting that doesn't fit with reality
- cjonas 1y agoYa this is nonsense. The web is what it is. You could maybe say "every framework is a hack to workaround protocols primarily designed in the 90's before we really understood the full application of the web"
- goatlover 1y agoThe internet isn't the web, and there are plenty of applications who use those protocols just fine outside of the web browser. It's the html tech stack initially made for hypertext documents and resources that's been heavily upgraded to do web-based applications.

- m_fayer 1y agoI would go as far as saying that the genius of the web is that it can grow, develop, be hacked, modified, expanded through technical and institutional means to be many things it wasn’t originally envisioned to be. Why is that a bad thing? Why is originalism a good thing?
