People like Einstein would find a solution.

The volume of basic questions is unlimited. There are new technologies every year.

Not sure. As software becomes a commodity I can see the "old school" like tech slowing down (e.g. programming languages, frameworks frontend and backend, etc). The need for a better programming language is less now since LLM's are the ones writing code anyway more so these days - the pain isn't felt necessarily by the writer of the code to be more concise/expressive. The ones that do come out will probably have more specific communities for them (e.g. AI)

That would be true if no new technologies were created every year (even more often).

There are new technologies, but if you look at the most viewed questions, they will be about Python, JS, Java, C, and C++ without libraries.

You do not find the 2009 jQuery answer satisfying?

I have 20 years of experience in webdev, here is my blog: https://medium.com/@eugeniyoz

Types of projects I've worked on:

* CRM - Tickets, chat, dozens of dynamically modifiable reports, charts, editable tables, Rust REST API.

* Warehouse Management System - Barcode scanner, mobile app (Ionic), dashboard app.

* Vodafone Site Management - App for managing over 100 types of devices (with dynamically generated forms for each type), geolocation tools, 3D room editor (three.js), charts, and real-time data synchronization across tabs.

* SAP/Spartacus plugin for the Sony e-shops.

* correkt.com - e-commerce site with modern UI, SSR, zoneless architecture, Tailwind CSS 4, hydration, and various performance, SEO, and Core Web Vitals optimizations;

* surex.com (frontend) - insurance survey app with multiple complicated forms, rewritten from AngularJS to modern Angular.

* and 30+ other projects, from small startups and individuals to large enterprise companies.

> Using LLMs undercuts both

Absolutely disagree. I use LLM to speed up the process and ONLY accept code that I would write myself.

exactly

end of the day, guys like the author, for better or worse, are going to be replaced by the next generation of developers who don't care for the 'aesthetics' in the same way

You can write sloppy code using any language.

Does it really add any value to the conversation?

Many of them seem to be trying to exploit women’s or men’s sexuality.

Precisely how do you define "exploitative?" In the commercial context of movies and advertising, every depiction of anything is "exploitative," in that it is leveraging the depiction to make money for the movie financiers or advertisers.

I mean, precisely, the phenomenon of the male gaze[0].

I have a hard time getting on board with that paper.

> The paradox of phallocentrism in all its manifestations is that it depends on the image of the castrated woman to give order and meaning to its world. An idea of woman stands as lynch pin to the system: it is her lack that produces the phallus as a symbolic presence, it is her desire too make good the lack that the phallus signifies.

Do you have a substantive criticism to make?

This would be an interesting discussion, but I don't think this article, or HN, are the right place. In short, the paper boils down to "sex sells" but wraps it in so much linguistic and semantic psychoanalytic sophistry that it's barely intelligible, and hardly actionable. Psychoanalysis is on very unstable foundations (see Popper's critiques), and this attempts to build on that, which doesn't compel belief, at least with me.

That isn't exploitation. If you read that entire article, the concept of "exploitation" doesn't occur once.

The concept of exploitation occurs in the first paragraph.

No it doesn’t. The first paragraph talks about objectification, not exploitation. They are different concepts.

I spent years of my life studying this.

Examples from 13 soldiers out of 500,000 — very representative, indeed.

Angular performance benchmarks before zoneless (v19+) are obsolete.
