-Ever heard of Python 3?
What a great ending! And the whole process repeats, using Python as a back-end language.

It was a chuckle until "we are going to do assembly in the web in a year or two", but then I laughed all the way to the end.

... and then you discover that Web Assembly actually is a thing and contemplate intercepting one of Nagy's gin tankers.

I'm just horrified that something like that could be for real.

You know what they say about the pavement on the road to hell...
The intent of Web Assembly is to allow other languages to be usable for clientside browser scripting without being transpiled into javascript on the server first. This is an admirable goal, and one that I hope succeeds eventually. OTOH I'm equally certain that eventually some crazy people will try coding in webasm directly.

I can see the thinking, but it's the exact opposite of every step of progress we've made.
Some of the earliest programs I ever wrote were in machine code. Sure, it may be char by char the most efficient code (but certainly not function by function, object by object, etc), but the point of all the years of evolution was to make it easier to write code, no?
Going backward in time 30-40 years ain't what I would call progress.

I really don't know why I bother getting up in arms about their tech choices. I will be long gone before I it becomes a reality.

I am a web developer / .NET application developer and I always stuck with jQuery and plain javascript and it works. I have used few javascript library before depending on need. But these days if I go out to seek a new job they ask for so many different frameworks of JS I feel lost. Tried learning Angular and felt so many times WTF and Why ? and I am back to my .NET / MVC / JQuery setup to keep me sane. All those who codes in JS, ever wondered about securing your javascript files ?

Yes; it staggers the mind knowing how much time is spent on "plumbing" versus solving (business) problems.
(And many don't know the difference).

I just read this, and I weep. There is no engineering in FRONT END DEVELOPMENT. 
gag me with a spoon, then beat me to death with it. The sad thing is why this is funny - there is a good element of truth in it. People are just making ***t up to make themselves look creative.

Hi All,
I have a laser printer scanner combo on my desk, which I couldn't get to work...updated driver...needed Admin, my left eye, etc. you get the picture. Still didn't work get fed up open back of printer find three pieces of A4 gummed together pull 'em out (with pliers), find the magenta toner leaking dust every where reassemble. Now I have a working printer!

Good grief!
You use paper in the office?
The problem I have with my inkjet is that I use it so infrequently that every time I try the cartridges have dried out...

Sadly yes.. with the new system were trying (and I mean trying!) to develop we encouraging against printing where ever possible and now the users are ready to lose the plot as they are old school.
Changing tech / processes isn't something to do to them without planning
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Give the user an electric shock every time they print something.
Also record their responses.
Should be effective AND fun!

Go on, you know you want to ...

A4? THere's you're problem right there.
8.5" x 11" is the paper used by all decent printers. A4 indeed! A4 is barbaric!

Inches? What neanderthals still use inches to measure things?
Cheers,
Mick
