I mean you're coming across like more of an old man than I am and that's saying a lot more than you know. For the first 2 years people shit talked jQuery I didn't agree with them. And then I got the opportunity to work without it and it seriously took like 3 days to completely change my mind. And all my pages were I believe about 100KB lighter.

jQuery is trash. And that doesn't mean it wasn't a great tool for its time. It's truly obsolete now though. If you hate the native JavaScript stuff so much.. I dunno maybe go work with Java or something?

Just fluff, no real arguments, ok.

I sure am glad I don't work with a moron like you who would ship a fuckton of JavaScript to users because they're too much of a pussy/old fuck to use modern practices

Lol, so angry :-D jQuery hating must be a real passion for ya.

we know that being a pain in the ass is your passion -- your coworkers definitely have noticed

So far they didn't complain. My manager is all praise too ;-) It's kinda weird that I'm supposed to be the asshole for not being hateful of a technology. But you the hater are the nice guy?

The things is, I don't diss on technologies without arguments. I've grown to recognize that they are tools, not a subject of passion, at least in a professional context.
