Push back against people who think they need SPAs and heavy JS frameworks. "If I told the builder of my home to make it out of straw, I would hope she would convince me otherwise."

Funny, they misspelt "sell things and track your every move - literally".
But I like the world they describe and would like to live in it again *sigh*
@lupine Yeah, it's all too easy to cross out useful from that sentence for the modern web.
@alcinnz aye. It got this way through active malice, rather than some sort of technological oversight or lack of leadership.
We were actively - and competently - moved in this direction by people with a massive hunger for data. JS satisfies that for now, but we're already seeing moves to embed the behaviour directly in the browser, rather than relying on JS. What a world.
