You must be new here on HN, we usually like to discuss things instead of calling them names. Mind sharing your opinions instead of just saying it's shitty?
The article is filled with "unnecessary methods and such" , because you reffed to the article.
If you mean jQuery , then maybe the functions you don't use others use, give some examples , the most I use daily are attr,css, find, parent, wrap,unwrap,parents,each, filter,toArray, remove, append, after etc (my project gets a ton of possible broken html or html with garbage and I clean it up)
As of writing this comment the account in question is only 1 hour old. Maybe there should be some kind of time limit before account can comment. Anyway the account is obviously a throwaway created to troll this thread. Just ignore it.
Well you should elaborate more, you might get downvoted to oblivion yourself.
You should at the very least comment on what exactly you found "shitty" about the article, giving the benefit of the doubt and a means for the author to be better.
I find HN downvote system many times misused, but your comment is the perfect example of a one deserving of negative feedback
