jQuery plugins depended on jQuery, and when jQuery went out of favor, they ended up in the junkyard.

There is all sorts of componentry built exclusively on React, limiting it to React-based sites. As React goes out of favor, they will end up in the junkyard. (Same with any framework-specific extension.)

But with Web Components... it seems like the story will end differently. If they are built without dependencies, they might just live as long as the web does.

@cferdinandi @chriscoyier all the open source Web Components Iโ€™ve made are dependency free ๐Ÿ˜„

Saw this at our Apple Store and Iโ€™m really curious what you get back if you mail them a letter.

I should do it, right

Even if you like AI wouldnโ€™t you rather influence a data source that may direct people to your web properties over just helping a single service with their endeavours?

@garthdb @patrickfulton plus itโ€™ll be next to the source code, and if you make it public itโ€™ll get indexed just like an open forum (hopefully ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป)

So you're telling me that not only did Big Tech provide everyone with a way to saturate the web with mediocre content but also a way to ignore the web entirely? Great job

I started vlogging a few weeks ago as a way to learn how to edit videos and just generally share about life in a new way because typical blogging wasn't doing it for me any longer.

A few videos in, I can already tell an improvement in editing.

@robb @marsh931 reminds me of that time I tried to watch Wolf Of Wall Street on a flight. I gave up before the end. I don't understand why so many people praise it??
