It doesn't matter what year it is, JavaScript provides zero utility on a blog except to give the author analytics.

Why do people hate the idea of documents so much? Imagine if you had to suffer through a different app for every single book you read; that is what a js-mandatory page is.



It looks like in this case it's not so much a blog post as "I had this thread of discoveries on Twitter, how about I try out Storify to just bung it on my blog"[0], which means using Twitter's JavaScript embedding. Obviously even from a narrative perspective a properly-written blog post would be to prefer but this STILL manages to be way better than linking to the twitter.com feed because Twitter's JS UI is completely unusable to read threads...

I agree. Rendering static contents shouldn't rely on JavaScript.

And I still think disabling JS is like shooting yourself in the foot on purpose.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Also I'm tired of people who always have to point out "hurrr durr site don't work without JS". Nobody cares.

Apparently enough nobodies to tire you out.
