Nothing about current js ecosystem screams good architecture it’s hacks on hacks and a culture of totally ignoring everything outside of your own little bubble. Reminds me of early 2000s javabeans scene
- cap11235 10mo agoReminds me of early 2000s JS scene, in fact. Anything described as "DHTML" was a horrid hack. Glad to see Lemmings still works, though, at least in Firefox dev edition. https://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ https://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/
- jauntywundrkind 10mo agoUnqualified broadscale hate making no assertions anyone can look at and check? This post is again such wicked nasty Dark Side energy, fueled by such empty vacuous nothing. It was an incredible era that brought amazing aliveness to the internet. Most of it was pretty simple & direct, would be more intelligible to folks today than today would be intelligible & legible to folks from them. This behavior is bad & deserves censure. The hacker spirit is free to be critical, but in ways that expand comprehension & understanding. To classify a whole era as a "horrible hack" is injurous to the hacker spirit.
