So, essentially, they've invented the optical telegraph, but smaller than is required for Kiddicraft[^] sets.
I can't help but wonder how they're supposed to get hundreds of thousands of single protons into hundreds of thousands of tubes that pass through one-to-many layers of the chips during manufacture, but, thankfully, that's not my problem to solve.

One browser in particular is still causing headaches for web developers. Here's a hint - it starts with an 'I', and ends with an 'E'
But only because no one needs to support Safari.
Oh, and all the mobile devices.
And email webviews.

So, wonder of wonders, the browsers that webdevs hate are minority browsers that still have not-unsubstantial followings.
The take away from this is that webdevs want there to be one, and only one, browser, because it would make their life easier -- and bollocks to users' preferences.
Here's a tip, webdev guys: making sites multi-browser compatible IS PART OF YOUR F***ING JOB!
Stop bitching about it, and do what you're paid for - or would you prefer that we all go out and hire 14-year-old whizz-kids who can only handle one browser?

I'm fortunate - our web sites only support edge/chrome.
What I hate about my job is that we are so restricted in terms of connectivity and tools because of absurd/arbitrary/pointless security concerns. For instance, they've disabled the Dev tools in chrome so we can't examine the production web sites when something goes sideways. F*ckin absurd...

So they took away the tedium of having to make the sites compatible with multiple browsers, but found a way to add it back.
Sounds about normal. The fates seem to have decreed that getting a break is a swings and roundabouts thing.
I don't see how the security thing works there, though. They can only disable dev tools of browser instances that they have admin control over, so you don't get the dev tools, but everyone outside the building does?

Very true. However, it is also a matter of perspective and point of view. I have been doing web development for 20+ years and I don’t seem to have the same opinion of web developers as you do or the same experiences.

I think you have been drinking too much bubbly. Your opinion is that they complain too much. That is what I was addressing.

I wish that people would read the words that I write, rather than decide what I'm thinking.
At no time do I say, or even imply, that that is my opinion.

"The take away from this" means that I am commenting on statements in the article, and only on statements in the article. Stating that what I am writing is "the take away" means that it is not my opinion on anything at all; it is my interpretation of the article.
My opinion of the article would have been along the lines of "it's good" or "it's bad" (but I would have used more or less words, as required).
Since I was writing about an article, and not about any group, class, subset, or phylum of people, there is little room for, or possibility of, my adding my personal opinions on any group, class, subset, or phylum of people, except as a side note.
Maybe you could do some comprehension exercises, for practice. There must be tons of them on the Interwebs.

I did not respond to that comment. I responded to the one you wrote "Here's a tip, webdev guys" which implies you are no longer limiting your comments to just that article.

Read the words; don't make assumptions based on what you want to hear.
Unless, of course, you're willing to fall for every trick that political speech writers and partisan journalists pull.
Welcome to the world of sophisticated, precise English usage. Don't feel too ashamed if you fail; most people can't hack it -- or, rather, they only hack it.
