Smugly laugh at Atari’s BASIC cartridge all you like, nerds.
Truth is: Warren Robinett (yeah, him) created a masterpiece and miracle in the face of resource constraints that would have modern devs soiling their diapers.
Go on. Gaze upon your God and pee-pee your JavaScripting underoos!

Brain fuzzy (too much javascripting) couldn't remember the word "fourteen" just now so just said "fortyear ago"

Yesterday I made the budget bars. I started out by javascripting the table to bars. But realized it is more accessible if I render the bars with the same template data.
They are green under 80% reaching the budget limit. Also I do not break them down at 100 but CSS overflow:hidden solves it.

Alt: Just throwing this little bit of code out there before I throw it away.
This has been possible in PowerShell forever.
Maybe I'm Javascripting wrong, but I was not able to do this sort of template inception in JS. Don't know of too many other languages where these sorts of shennanigans work, either.
Add it to the list of fairly unique things about PowerShell.

⌨️ As promised! In today’s blogitude, I use #HTML Custom Elements and a little light JavaScripting to do the necessary massaging of text content and the DOM, plus #CSS anchored positioning, to create sidenotes that are 100% progressively enhanced: meyerweb.com/eric/thought...
Custom Asidenotes
In which I turn inline asides into robustly enhanced sidenotes with CSS and just a touch of JS.

Ah, this is a little interesting to me as I did a tiny bit of javascripting specifically for a map app but that's on a completely different level. On another note, I do still refuse to use reddits main site. I will probably abandon it if they ever remove old.reddit.

My tendrils weave through the entire industry. Designs I did in the early 2000s are now industry standards. Like MineCraft modding? My team improved the Javascripting in 2011. Alot of tech we made for unpublished work on our github is now used in many games. My full contribution will never be known.

In the latest Counter-Strike 2 update, players can now inspect each other's loadout when spectating. We finally got official scripting support for map creators/community modders via Javascripting!

Probably due to the same illness that's making everyone think that the design language popularised by touch screens is the way to go. Something about rewriting everything in rusty javascripting snakes or such. Because everything else is old and obsolete and wastes time.

Begging you, please stop javascripting text input. I'm so sick of characters being input backwards, being skipped, and other cursed things. Please stop gaslighting my typing.
