just f***ing use html

 Funny rant domain: Just f***ing use HTML. (Is it weird that I'm "censoring" cussing?)

(Not to nerdily miss the point, but I think the PHP/JSON-on-Filesystem//HTML5/CSS/Vanilla JS stack  is the logical extension of that when you actually do need to get a little data onto or off of the server. Buildless, evergreen, runs for years, avoids package dependency hell...)

It reminds me of The iPhone is a piece of s***, and so is your face, extolling the virtues of the clever foldy keyboard Nokia E70 over the then new iPhone. Obviously iPhone-ish slabphones won - but it took iPhone a while to catch up to that -- recording video, an app store, even copy and paste weren't there at first...

(I suspect that second rant page - a "cgi" page still surviving like almost two decades now - has the same "technology should just work for years" attitude of the first rant.)
