- timruffles 13y agoContext: the article is a reply to another post on the front-page: http://live.julik.nl/2013/05/javascript-is-shit http://live.julik.nl/2013/05/javascript-is-shit I probably should have titled it "Javascript isn't a shit language, you just need to learn it" to avoid this ambiguity: I'm not claiming it's a "must learn" for modern dev ;)
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoIndeed, I was just about to say that this article was a mere rebuttal and nowhere did it mention that you need to learn JS. On the other hand, you're well on your way to becoming a successful marketer with your deceptive titles.
- timruffles 13y agoUnfortunately I'd have to have done it deliberately :) Here I just confused my message: not a great marketing skill!
