@prologic Oh yeah! Same with all the AI crap.
@lyse Yup I'm so tired of "marketing" abusing actual technical terms that they then become just "hype" and meaningless garbage. 😡

I should add that I link to this page often and it was down for at least 2 weeks a little while ago.

@mckinley @lyse Headache material.

Holy moly, @mckinley, this is absolutely insane. Nicely put, @adi, I actually didn't make it through.
@lyse @mckinley \n\n> Nicely put, @adi, I actually didn’t make it through\n\nMe neither!

Me neither!

@lyse @mckinley @adi I understanding his reasoning, it's cool in someway but a huge headache to implement and follow.

@adi @lyse @mckinley I mean, it's a headache to just read about it, consider working on it.

@adi @lyse My other example I use when talking about needless complexity is https://github.com/1ntEgr8/yolo-tree, a web page with a header and four links on it that uses 91 lines of JavaScript to download a JSON file with the information and put the links on the page.
It also downloads two (2) fonts, making the page weight 44.1KB and a WebBS of 22.9 without executing the JavaScript to get the JSON and the images. https://www.webbloatscore.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F1ntegr8.github.io%2Fyolo-tree%2F
Somebody spent enough time on this project to give it two releases on GitHub.

@lyse @mckinley Well, it's not a web _site_, it's an _app_.
@lyse @mckinley Well, it's not a web _site_, it's an _app_.
@adi @lyse It's not an "app", there's nothing interactive about it. It's like a Hello World program as compared a text file that says "Hello World". The concept is good for learning but impractical, even counter-productive, for anything else. That's why you don't usually see a release 0.2.0 of helloworld.c.
Besides, if your personal website is an "app", you're doing it wrong.

@mckinley @lyse Depends on what you understand by "wrong". 😋

@adi @mckinley Fully agreed, building apps for websites is just wrong. Full stop. You can do it like that, but then it just sucks.
@lyse @mckinley _wrong_ from what point of view? Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not picking sides, just reading your opinions.

@mckinley brilliant article, and bonus points for the Terry Davis reference.
@eldersnake Appreciate it, man.

@mckinley Very nice article, I love it and fully agree! Couldn't put it any better.
