Respect to you! This might sound ridiculous to some but is honestly my personal ideal as well. I have found it hard to achieve in real world settings. The PM wants to know how many visitors aren’t enabling JS before we dare justify any effo

Yeah, I’ve too noticed how hard it is to find any web development guidance involving direct DOM manipulation now! I was recently refactoring some code and wondering whether to use a (JS) class… The search results were mostly about React Cla

Full stack devs working with JS on the backend love to be able to reuse their code on front and back end when desired. This question is relevant to them and them only.

On my site we have a "menu" link styled as a button. Before JS loads it'll link to a page we have that lists out all the menu options (literally navigating to oursite.com/menu). After JS kicks in the link gets hidden and
