What are your thoughts then about putting only that region of the page behind some kind of loading/awaiting indication? My issue with whole-page takeover loaders is that they lose your control and spatial sense of the app. You can&#x27

If this kind of "marketing" is truly the thing you overlook when making things, are you making valuable tools that are hard or frustrating to use? What are the parts of your products that have nothing to do with the friction in us

Everyone using jQuery is benefitting from functional programming. Querying, traversing, and filtering are based on `each` and `map`. It turns what was formerly looping and saving values as temporary/instance variables into declarative,

I think we're mostly in agreement, @dj-wonk. Objects are about bundling that state and behavior, nothing more. How they're created or instantiated is secondary. It's unnecessary to create classes for functionality when it&#
