The video is obviously sarcastic, but what makes JS really great is that this video is from 2012 and _all_ of this knowledge is still relevant. I used to freelance frontend webdev HTML+CSS, browser wars, etc, was very good at it. None of that webdev knowledge is useful today.

There is a deeper thing happening it seems, smoke and mirrors with abundance of hot air? I’m slowly understanding the complete gibberish you’re sharing, but the way my mind processes it. Appreciate your replies , a lot 🙏

I think the video is a sort of love/hate display of skill and knowledge working with an overly complex programming language. Though back in 2012 it was maybe possible to wish for JS to become better (less quirky) or something else to overtake it. Now not so much.

Sorry I also have to fit it into slightly too short messages :-) It's just that certain arcane computer knowledge stands to be more useful with the test of time, than other kinds :-) But it's hard to tell which one it's gonna be. JS is not going anywhere though.
