If jQuery and UJS were the Rails Dark Ages, what was the Prototype era? The Jurassic?

@stevehill well, you clearly should have had the Dinosaur Goat trading card! That said, Scriptaculous was so great for the time. Fond memories.

@olleolleolle @stevehill @thomasfuchs great minds think alike! And old minds reminisce alike, I suppose…

“Sometimes I wonder if web development is not just a prank.”

Yes, me too.

(From https://medium.com/@fulalas/web-crap-has-taken-control-71c459df6e62 – just another rant about modern web dev, but it made me feel validated.)

@nicuveo (I found your comments very relevant and well thought-out, by the way.)

@nicuveo from my privileged position as a spectator with no dog in the race, I feel like MDN’s stance rests on three separate (and all wrong) things: a desire to ride the trend wave for image/marketing reasons, a blind faith/magical thinking in LLMs, and possibly a stubborn technical desire to play with shiny new toys. Plus a sprinkle of condescension for the end users.
