What a silly rant. There is a huge world of different approaches to front-end and lots of them do cool and interesting things that would both up your productivity and give you completely new opportunities ... if you bothered instead of just being an old fart.
- briandear 2y agoIt would be cool if all of the fancy front-end people would learn how to use HTML properly before lecturing the “old farts.” The <ol> example comes to mind.
- throwaway4good 2y agoYou can be old and experienced and still have an attitude of being open to new things ... at least to the point where you understand them before you embark on a rant.

- MrVandemar 2y agoThe way some people code "HTML" these days is like an apprentice carpenter swaggering up to a house building site, and then banging in nails with the butt of their power-drill, and telling the "old fart" carpenters what losers they are for bothering to use a hammer. Use the right tool for the job. HTML is a toolbox, not a bucket of <divs> and <spans>.
