Make Web Not War
summary
Talk argues that the useful details are the claims and evidence: concrete examples like how jQuery solved cross‑browser DOM issues with addEventListener fallbacks and how fetch replaces AJAX, the Angular 2 rewrite that drove migrations, the ahead‑of‑time compiling idea reused by Svelte and rawact, and tooling lineage from Ember CLI to Angular CLI. It offers surprises — 70% of the top million sites use jQuery — and practical notes on JSX vs tagged templates and package size tradeoffs rather than vague exhortations.
