oh my god, you're my new best friend. I was despairing of finding any opinion on HN that wasn't so mired in being too politically correct that it could have been written by a cold, dead fish with a robot brain powered by HAL. my extreme cynicism of HN comments has been temporarily rolled back. > A lot of things that shouldn't talk HTTP are expected to just because there's an army of programmers who don't know better. this worries me actually - there is such fantastic momentum with new developers and new tools pushing a very narrow set of technologies forward simply because they haven't had broad exposure (experience) to other ways of building yet that we'll arrive (or perhaps have arrived ...?) at a point in the future where we really begin to suffer from a sort of deficit in available sophisticated technologies because of a long heritage of using HTTP/HTML/JS/Webkit/MVC for frickin everything. Those teaching won't know any better and it will be up to those who have been taught to dive farther and farther back in time to when there was more diversity to find and appreciate different solutions. A little dystopian, perhaps, but justified. Cross pollination of disciplines and variety will save us.
