Yes. Web apps existed before JavaScript.

Yes. That's what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

Could just be a misclick. There are some weird and/or pathetic folks around here, but there's also just many with huge thumbs.

My estimate of the average "missed the upvote button and didn't notice" is maybe one in 40.

Today's AI can only remix, not do the new stuff. Maybe it'll get good enough to tackle the novel new stuff, someday. I doubt I'll live to see it, if it happens.

The root of my crankiness is: If we're about to no longer need developers, I should be seeing widespread websites whose search, cart and checkout actually work correctly every time.

The snake oil salesmen are bragging that the era of carpentry has ended, from on top of a wooden stage that is falling to pieces with each step.

I would say, it can only get better, but it can really go both ways from here.
