Hi OP. Thanks for posting. Now let us tell why you're technically wrong about everything and we know more than you, and we've never had a girlfriend.

People were doing this 15 years ago, before all the hipster web designers picked up javascript, opened terminal and called themselves programmers.

I"m sure the old JS programmers moved on to a real programming language, but they put you new guys to complete shame, and they didn't need 18 dependencies and a dependency manager to get it done.

jQuery was a great invention for web development, but everything since then has been total crap. Angular, React, Node, all of it's crap. The only people who like it are those who aren't smart enough to be real programmers.

According to some the Earth is less than 6k years old, but that doesn't make them any less wrong, kind of like what you just said.

App Annie shows that of all revenue from paid app downloads, Apple accounts for 70% of it, which is up from 60% in 2014.

I'm working on a new JS framework that using a heavily modified Vim to allow you to write programs using only punch cards. But for it to work you have to be wearing a t-shirt that's one size too small and a scarf. It's not even done yet I'm already working a re-write in GO and Rust.

There is something wrong with it when you openly admit to profiting from the story.

Give it a few months and I'm guessing we'll see a story about how well his "social experiment" worked.

The real lesson learned here is that people stopped talking about what made this guy famous, and in an attempt to kick the fires and get the flames going again, he's doing whatever it takes to bring the story back into the public eye so that we will once again call on him for his expertise.
This shit looks worse than normal SNES games. Great work.

ProductHunt is just a useless hype machine for starts that don't hold any real value at all.

People actually use LinkedIn more that a couple of times a year?

This is the perfect example of the whole hipster culture making it's way into web and software development.

I literally expect to see people like this writing about how they're experimenting with punch card input any day now.

How do they keep all girls away from this place? I'm kidding of course.
