Poorly written article with lots of F words.
- ilyak 17y agoAny comments on -ing content?
- dchest 17y agoNot that I'm afraid of F words or anything, I just can't see the point of the rant (except that HTML5 drag and drop is a disaster) through "[...]" "-ing" pieces. I'd be happy to read an article (or a comment here on HN) on this topic that points out the issues in a more readable manner. Any pointers?
- boucher 17y agoYeah, Francisco's post is linked at the bottom. But don't mistake this rant for useless. Francisco's thoughtful post was largely ignored. PPK has some pull in the community, and being pissed off may have an impact that rational conversation would not. Note that the HTML 5 editor was the first comment on the post.
- robin_reala 17y agoTo be fair to ppk he’s not usually so wound up. I think the state of the subject matter has gotten to him.
- heyitsnick 17y agoI'm all for some well-placed swear-words, but this article was so hard to read that I had trouble working out exactly what is wrong with the spec. Still, I can tell the author's pretty pissed off about it.
- jpcx01 17y agoWith good reason I think. It sort of makes sense to me since I've looked into it previously and been similarly horrified at how dumb it worked. I can't see any sane person using this trash over existing js components.
- jhancock 17y agoThis one threw me: "couldn’t be arsed to specify" That's an entirely new way of using arse for me, not that as an American, I ever use it much, but...
- unalone 17y agoCouldn't be arsed is an old expression.
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoIt's more common in British English. Substitute "bothered" or "bothered to get off my arse" for "arsed".
- masklinn 17y agoIt wasn't an article but a rant. That was even specified in the introduction: > What follows is a rant laced with profanity. No apologies. Drag and drop deserves no better.
- tlrobinson 17y agoEither way, when PPK is this pissed you should probably pay attention.
