I think what Timothy is saying is that in order to just add some <li> items to a <ul> tag, there's too much code happening in the tutorial.

... Which is totally true. You only get to the point where something like Backbone would be an advantage when you have rich models with editable state.

Along those lines is exactly what I'm saying... in addition to shortening the function names and other small (yet important size-wise) optimizations that would really help out in the long run. If I had the time I'd specifically address each optimization, but I don't.

It's cool that my comment is at -1 points. Thanks HN! You make me want to return here more and more every day with your unbiased contributions.
