I suspect Newton is rolling in his grave at your words. Standing on the shoulders of giants also means respecting the giants. That means dedicating time to learning what they have to teach. Not treating them as a black box with no credit or consent, in the name of your own "glory".

Maybe that's because you're not using your time well in the first place

To be fair browsers/CSS have been solving a lot of use cases you'd normally turn to js for, lately. We should continue escalating this effort.

I fear this is an analogy for what's happening with LLMs and context engineering.

I find this a bit like saying that we can't understand East of Eden because Steinbeck is dead.

Seems like more of a subtextual/accidental ability than an emergent ability.

Exactly. If I'm going to be solving bugs, I'd rather they be my own.

Building a basic static html landing page is ridiculously easy though. What js is even needed? If it's just an html file and maybe a stylesheet of course it's easy to host. You can apply 20 lines of css and have a decent looking page.

These aren't hard problems.

Yeah, that commenter wildly misunderstands what "progressive" means. Like full on got the definition of the word backwards.

Is this common? People think "progressive" means "complete government control"?

Progressives support regulations to prevent both public and private entities from becoming too powerful. It's not like they want to give the government authoritarian control lol.

Politicians do come in different flavours. There are some elected officials with good intentions. See again the AOC/Pelosi rift.

The more we regulate to get money out of politics, the more good people will have a shot at being elected.

These are all common progressive values. No true progressive supports wealthy unethical politicians gaining more power. Anyone telling you so is not speaking in good faith, or they are misinformed.

Trickle down economics isn't something you either "believe in" or "don't believe in". It's a disproven theory that does not work.
