@james - it really depends what you want to build... It's best to pick the right tool for the job... Not every tool is a hammer, and not every problem is a nail.

@woozle - lefty loosy... Righty tightly. The part it's connected to has a curve on that side of the nut.
@woozle - naw that just looks like crappy workmanship. I did a bad plumbing job (the old "home owner's special" on my first home exactly once. Then I learned to do it the right way.
@jimstewartson - definitely not an anarchist. Unless somehow that word has changed to mean "business tycoon with a God complex."..... Elon is the type that would be all: "but who will fix the roads?"
@DrLeonJ - it is a cute little tree, but it looks like a fire hazard. :)
@ThePracticalDev what even is that job? Shouldn't all devs be advocating for their juniors?

@inautilo This is thought povoking - thanks... and... You don't even need a moral crusade. There is a ton of fairly obvious ways to recognize a higher value for light and fast web based software:
A faster experience is better UX = happier customers
Less egress = less bandwidth costs
Less output = less compute to produce it = less infrastructure cost
The list can go on and on.
@craftykraken - just build something. Then find more experienced folks and ask them how you could have built it better. :)
@rolle - when you get into issues of bogging down the browser ... One of more interesting ways of dealing with it is to build a queue of stuff to process and work through it using window.requestAnimationFrame().
It's good for stuff beyond just animating canvas elements - I promise.
