       @simon You can’t mention that without an obligatory Statham reference. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3079380/quotes?item=qt2631499

       @seldo > “I feel like he ends up calling developers stupid …  and [I] dislike being called stupid.”He… didn’t. But, this seems to be one of those issues where people are generally going to fall on one side or the other, and they’ll defend their view quite personally.

       @seldo > “I also think developers aren't stupid, so they know that they are making these trade-offs when they pick React. So why do they?”Because they want to work, so they learn what’s popular with who’s hiring and recruiters are hiring “React developers” for ridiculous sums of money. This is also why a lot of them skip straight past learning HTML and CSS properly, and why they have no clue about accessibility.

       @misty I see this problem like moving email servers with only the contacts and not the email—mostly pointless when lots of email is at stake. The problem of moving email servers with all data intact has long been solved (slightly painfully, in lots of cases), so we should absolutely be able to do this, as you say.

       @seldo HTML is considered a fundamental now—it was considered a fundamental in the ‘90s when I was picking it up.CSS is a fundamental. JavaScript is a fundamental. Accessibility is a fundamental and a basic human right.These are the fundamentals that are usually skipped when someone jumps straight into learning how to use a JS framework, but I suspect you know that. None of them will be downgraded from fundamentals to a “low level implementation detail” in the next 5 years.

       @seldo Whoa, you were there? Amazing. And yes, I know CSS and JavaScript were additions to the fundamentals stack, but I know that because, hey, I was there, too. (Am I doing this right?)Are those things *still* fundamental to web development somewhat-over-5 years later? I think they are. So, yes, there is such a thing as “the fundamentals”.

       @mmasnick @jbaggs @onthemedia @zoeschiffer Won’t put up with it? With what, no aggressive algorithm fucking with your timeline? No troll bots ruining the daily discourse? No snobby verified tick? People who are able to have a conversation without it turning into a screaming matching in fewer that 50 words? No overarching right-wing agenda? People who actually like it here?Hope she finds it. Whatever it is.
