I find it hard to have discussions at a higher level on the internet (http://owensoft.net/v4/item/2559/). Everything is a beginner JavaScript tutorial catered to noobs but it never goes beyond that because going beyond that noob-stuff is difficult and the audience is smaller. So I end up digging deeper and deeper into the internet which wastes more and more of my time. And probably the worse thing about the new internet is that if you point this out the defenders of internet will attack you for being negative and looking beyond the curtain of low hanging fruit which they constantly postulate about. I agree wholeheartedly with the article but I do not see how it can be fixed. There are just 2 internets and if you want to be creative you should just avoid the new internet altogether because it consumes everyone it touches.



> This issue [with a recently trendy Javascript framework] was posted 5 months ago. why has no one responded?

...

> It would seem to me that no one wants to tackle the hard problems. The difficult-physics breaking walls. This is probably why we still do not have flying cars or floating cities.

I don't know whether to be impressed or appalled by the rapid extrapolation from "nobody cares about this React.js rendering glitch" to "this is why we can't solve Hard Problems in physics."
