Someone needs to invent something worse than screens so that all the people who rabbit on about "screens" being bad will embrace them as "the wholesome alternative to (new bad thing)".
This is basically what has happened with kids' comics at this point.
I just used jQuery in a new project and you know what, I don't even feel bad. I just needed to hide all the elements with one class and show all the elements with a different class. A one-liner in jQuery and not in anything else!
@tomw another reasons this is bad, is that it allows competitors to determine all sorts of metrics about your company. By placing orders or creating users at different times, they can use these ids to figure out how many sales per day or users gained per day. Using randomized id’s prevents leaking this subtle information
I do have some sympathy if you're just out here trying to run a little website, but honestly none if you claim in any way to be a person who knows anything about software, for example the type of person who might use the term "DDoS".

More websites should say "Wow, this made a difficult task somewhat less difficult, though also still requiring regular maintenance and basic competence."
@tomw
I work for a trust that employs 18000+ people. I probably serve about a third of them. We get people coming into the office every day. The amount of times someone walks in and smiles at us, gets no response, so adds "I'm here to pick up my stuff"
Like we're meant to know who the hell you are?! When we ask for a ticket number, they seem rather lost. "why would you need a ticket number?"
"Because I've got 16 computers, 5 headsets, 2 mice and bloody partridge in a pear tree!" I want to say
