<quoting=orchids postID=1655 threadID=147> php still being the most optimal choice here really is nuts. i feel like if this feature was implemented in HTML, people would reach for JS frameworks a lot less because re-usability of components is still a problem ...

My mother just wanted to watch her soap operas.

quoting Devastatia:

<quoting=Devastatia postID=1547 threadID=197> I know I'm ideologically indoctrinated. There's no way to not be. We are all products of our age. As Jung pointed out, as soon as you break one projection, another one immediately takes it place. It's automatic ...
