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.
To balance it out, I made it so that my web pages fail to load if JavaScript is turned on. Yes, really.
Okay, I guess technically it shows a message that says “Turn off JS, dummy!”, but it’s the same in spirit.
I’m sure your 12 users really appreciate how edgy that is
I don’t have any users, just readers, and all seven of them use cli browsers to read it, lol. If I actually gave a shit about people I see less-than-weekly reading my stuff, I’d obviously not have it set up like I do.
To be clear, this is just one of my websites.
Nothing screams “I have no social life and still live in my moms basement” like using a CLI browser.
Dude, relax. There’s no need to feel threatened by people enjoying themselves.
Yeah ok
You just said “shut up nerd” but without it being funny
