i mean… you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes…

yeah, no, im with you on that point where frontend developers don’t care. but why did that framework catch on in the first place? we used to use php where the server would grab all the data relevant to your account and convert it into one html page. but now it seems the user’s laptop is tasked with pulling each element of their own website. maybe it’s easier to scale? like you can have the user’s data split across different servers and not require any communication between servers on the backend?

it’s frustrating because webpages were really functional without this problem a decade ago. i don’t know why links jump around today. is it because it’s cheaper to let the client figure out what content they need instead of using server-side computation?

yeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol… jkjk

but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.

also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the ai model positively, idk.

how do you know it’s not bots?

looks like the article went down and archive.org doesn’t have a backup

Amazon’s delivery time is insane. I use other services like eBay for the most part, but when I need something fast idk who else to use besides Amazon.
