Big ol’ ball o’ JavaScript

Not surprising from Brad. Every once in a while one of his articles show up on hacker news. He's good at creating debate, mostly because what he writes is always a bunch of BS wrapped in this kind of comments that make people want to comment.

I yet have to find an article from him about engineering that makes any sense. He's able to write a few lines of jQuery this seems to make him feel like he knows so much about things he has no experience on.

Did you read the article? He was quoting someone else, and was non-committal about whether or not he agreed with it.

But hey, at least you got to knock his programming chops amirite?

Why do you feel compelled to defend Frost's "programming chops"?

Frost can publish his ideas about JavaScript being intimidating because the naming convention is camelCase and not kebab-case, and it's fair game for any other programmer to point out that Frost doesn't know what he's talking about.

Why would you read my comment as defending his programming chops?

I find that to be true about almost all of the loudest "influencers."
