Ow my dear, you never used flash did you? We didn’t even have ‘deploys’ back then, we needed to re-upload the entire container file, to change some text in the footer
Comment on JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress) - Jono Alderson
Oisteink@feddit.nl 2 days agoFlash never got in the way the same like js. My main take from the whole piece is how it has changed the way websites are developed, to match that of traditional software development. Like the need to deploy to change some text in the footer of our website

No - I never coded complete websites in flash. But if I did my «upload of the whole container» would have been my deployment

I disagree. flash popup ads were fucking horrendous.
that said, flash was poisonous. js is venomous.

I was referring to how it affected website development, not UX.
From my understanding of the article the author has noting against js, just how it affects the development process and architecture choices.
