I'm not in any way slow to understand, not in this case anyway.

> If you can't see why an open border is vital for the continued peace, and why removing it would place tension on a peace that took decades to achieve, then you've already made up your mind.

I didn't say that, and I'm not even going to engage your straw man.

And I did not blame the EU for Brexit woes, I made a pretty basic statement of fact that would probably cover any negotiation, one which was intended only to signal compromise -- hence why the UK did not leave entirely -- not woe or blame.

What's Ulster got to do with it?

I asked for a reference in the GFA, you've provided a Wikipedia link. Fantasy stuff in the HN comment threads as usual.

> You're right, they were an ethno-nationalist conflict, during which the British government sanctioned the murder of its own citizens, and now continues to protect those murderers from prosecution.

Bit early for the drink, no?

This is, probably unwittingly, making my point.

Brexit in no way breaches the GFA. Threatening a return to violence in Ireland over Brexit is what I mean by "making things difficult".

The Troubles were not about sausage shipments between Belfast and Dublin.

HN won't let me reply to you messe!

Can you point to the line or lines in the GFA which would have been breached by Brexit?

The UK wanted to leave as an intact entity, the EU made that difficult, therefore compromises.

Link says Government sent a "first signal of its intention", title says "UK to depart".

Comments skip straight to how dumb we all are.

I would argue that web development is less complicated than it used to be for the same quality of output. We now have source maps, debuggers, bundlers, more powerful languages, apis and a narrow range of browsers to hit with all that.

So now you can be more expressive, target more browsers easily, have greatly simplified script loading and module management, much, much better debugging tools, with less effort.

The tools make it easier for you to be a good developer.

Good web development was never easy.
