i absolutely hate how the modern web just fails to load if one has javascript turned off. i, as a user, should be able to switch off javascript and have the site work exactly as it does with javascript turned on. it's not a hard concept, people.

but you ask candidates to explain "graceful degradation" and they'll sit and look at you with a blank stare.

Problem is so many websites are slow for no good reason.

And JS is being used to steal our info and push aggressive advertisment.

Which part is unknown to you?

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I don’t understand why we are blaming the stealing info part on JavaScript and not the tech industry. Here is an article on how you can be tracked (fingerprinted) even with JavaScript disabled. As for slow websites, also blame the tech industry for prioritizing their bottom line over UX and not investing in good engineering.

Bad coding is a part of it. "It works on my system, where the server is local and I'm opening the page on my overclocked gamer system". Bad framework is also a part of it. React, for example, decided that running code is free, and bloated their otherwise very nice system to hell. It's mildly infuriating moving from a fast, working solution to something that decided to implements basic language features as a subset of the language itself.

Trackers, ads, dozen (if not hundreds) of external resources, are also a big part of it. Running decent request blocking extensions (stuff like ublock origin) adds a lot of work to loading a page, and still makes them seems more reactive because of the sheer amount of blocked resources. It's night and day.

Problem is so many trains are ugly for no good reason.

And steel is being used to shoot people and stab people aggressively.
