surprisingly, at least in my observation, very little in the service industry is user-centered.

Your post made me immediately go measure a print I have hanging on my wall by binder clips because I got excited to finally put that print in a frame for a reasonable price...
...and was immediately let down when the price was pretty much just as expensive as a regular framer. Womp.

I joined and posted something and a few things jumped out: no place for a link to the project (if there's a home for it) and no way to edit or update posts. Weird.

that's a pretty biased assumption. javascript is a perfectly fine language to learn to code in, especially given its prevalence and penetration. there's some weirdness to it, yes, but every language has its quirks.

I like the idea. I feel like a few seconds are spent trying to figure out what language it's in, but maybe I'm just a dummy.

This post is spot on. When I was a kid, I got my start when my dad wanted me to sell some stuff in the garage on this new site his buddy's son was using called eBay. I remember looking at all the other posts and wondering how they made the text different colors and put borders on things and found this world called HTML. I still have the notebook I used to write down all the cool things you could do with the various tags. Those were the days of not knowing what I didn't know. Now I definitely know what I don't know, and it's pretty terrifying and exhilarating.
Re:Friends don't let friends use loops

Misleading title? Loops can be really efficient and beneficial, just maybe not in this very specific circumstance. I clicked on the article thinking it was a new programming trick on how to avoid loops to do the same work loops do.
SPOILER ALERT: it's not.

let's be clear: i'm not advocating lazy-loading assets like jquery or your main app codebase. I'm talking about your ancillary files that may not get used on every visit, especially if your site is a single-page app.

That may work for a high-traffic site like Google, but what about sites that aren't in the Alexa top 10 (or even 1000)? ;)
