Javascript being disruptive technology is.. A take for sure.
When your self driving car is written in react you'll understand.
I'll understand briefly, as my life flashes before my eyes? Haha.
Self driving cars? Think human interface on spaceships!

I'm sure Musk hand coded it in JS and then paid some underpaid dude who is only slightly less abused in the US instead of india to unfuck his dogshit.
Disrupting my low ram usage
8 frameworks and waiting for fingerprinting scripte to load just for the website to run at 1 frame every minute
Isn't that more just website developers adding completely unnecessary shit that hog resources?
It always disrupted everything, and is getting only better on that with time.
But the most disruptive technology of all is Steve Jobs's face.
The most disruptive proprietary one, yes.
Linus is down there too.
It definitely is/was. Most user facing software these days is a web app, or native application using JS anyways. The event loop and async programming is also ubiquitous nowadays in most languages, especially server side.
I mean from inception until now it has been a huge change in programming. Node changed a lot of things. Typescript changed a lot of things. React changed a lot of things.
A long way since GWT which google was doing because its java devs hated js
Exactly, disruptive does not have to be a good thing.
well it was, a couple of decades ago at least
True, but so was Windows.
windows was more like 30-something years ago. 95 was the huge one afaik.
we could probably guess op's age for some of his choices here tbh.
I'm guessing they started with the portraits and then built out a kind of mood board around them. Javascript is not disruptive in any good way, but people who like Javascript (and Apple and so on) might think they are.
It was like 7 years ago with all the JavaScript frameworks flooding in around Node.js
Now it’s just kinda standard
