Not true, it's a great opportunity for javascript developers to get up on their soap boxes and share with us their moral and economic wisdom.



Please don't post unsubstantive comments or snark here.

Indeed. This is great point. JS developers have made seminal contribution to our collective well being by their virtuous signals and thoughtful commentary on anything that matters.

With the advent of E-protests they are finally being able to highlight against injustices taking place anywhere in the world.


Sublime. Just the slightest change in the context in which this was presented and Poe's law would be in full effect. :)


I laughed at this, but I do think I should point out that in a democracy it's good for people to have opinions about things that aren't their profession.


I think it's less about people having opinions and more about people being so self-righteous about something they don't understand as well as they think they do.


> people being so self-righteous about something they don't understand as well as they think they do

There it is. We can wrap up this year’s Accidental HN Slogan Contest early.


haha, point taken. But I'd say it's good that they care. Developers are in a different income bracket. Concern is far better than cold indifference, which is what usually happens...


This made me laugh out loud, lol

Poking fun at your own ingroup is the joke.


Thank you for this.
