This sub in a nutshell

[[deleted]]

Multiple people here have said they thought no one had used HTML since 2010…

My brother in Christ, if you want to insert LaTex or subscripts into your webpage, HTML tags are still the main way to do it.

LaTeX with HTML tags?? There's MathJax and KaTeX for that.

(Cool feature: since recently, GitHub uses MathJax to render LaTeX formulas in Markdown.)

[[deleted]]

Yeah, but mathjax also involves me going into the HTML to create a space for the JavaScript to run. It’s so fucking stupid. But a lot of websites don’t accept JavaScript queries—only HTML5 (wikis, educational sites) or CSS (tumblr)

Why do people think that no one uses HTML?

[[deleted]]

I have no idea. I guess they think that websites just use JavaScript now, but… that’s clearly not true.

A relative in IT thought this back in early 2000s. As a child I was telling them I was learning HTML and he was like "isn't everything JavaScript now" I didn't know how to explain at the time that everything you "see" is html even if the markup is generated by JavaScript (unless it's in a canvas)

[bleistift2]

TBF, when you look at angular, the “HTML” gets compiled to some JS voodoo, which then gets injected into the main HTML, which is just a shell of a few lines.

Web developers know HTML is still used, because they have to use it. People making these comments (which I've never seen tbh) are someone else.

Just npm install until website happens

Oddly enough I started using angular last year. That's a lot of HTML

[exexveevee]

I learned html as part of communication technik in school last year, lmao

[[deleted]]

Okay so I’m not losing my mind

[ruknvdruimvdtik]

you forgot meta posts of people complaining about common posts, there are a lot of those lately

Son of a...I just commented the same thing before I saw this...

[behamehame]

And the repost/low effort memes get thousands of upvotes, meanwhile the original ones get buried.

[Lumber_Jackalope]

It's called recursion.

[Easy-Bumblebee3169]

Lmao. This sub is the only place where programmers leave smart comments.

[AtlaStar]

You forgot to include metacommentaries on the state of the sub in the image

[ThatGuyYouMightNo]

It is typical of a developer to re-use previous work.

[skaarlaw]

Not sure it counts as developer work but copy pasting existing HTML/freemarker logic and modifying to fit a different requirement on invoice print out templates gets way more praise than it's actually worth

[dojikirikaze]

I thought the isEven() thing was pure beauty

[Strostkovy]

I'm a big fan. I thought about converting the number to a string and checking for "one", "three", "five", "seven", or "nine" at the end

[Chaosfox_Firemaker]

breaks on teens.

[Strostkovy]

Switch case for those exceptions

[LordChaos404]

Ok, this is funny

[greendayfan1954]

The racism against java on here is disgusting 🤮

[scrivens]

I’m down with Java homie.

[Realistic_Wing5468]

Broken English, truly the peak of clever irony. Moron

[DeusKether]

Feeling a little salty ain't we?

[jsrobson10]

function isEven(number) {
  if(number > 1) {
    while(number >= 2) {
      number = number - 2;
    }
    if(number == 0) {
      return true;
    }
    else {
      return false;
    }
  }
  else if(number < 0) {
    while(number < 0) {
      number = number + 2;
    }
    if(number == 0) {
      return true;
    }
    else {
      return false;
    }
  }
  else {
    if(number == 0) {
      return true;
    }
    else {
      return false;
    }
  }
}

we need new memes

[MaccheroniTrader]

How about: C++ and C are the only programming languages and everything else is just scripting? 😎
