    That’s exactly why people love web programming so much. There’s always a challenge.

    Ha, I swear, this must be sarcasm.

    Great article nonetheless!

      Haha yeah, I get what you mean. I think the author might mean “people who actively choose to do primarily web programming”, and isn’t being sarcastic. It’s baffling to me too, but I am glad that this subsection of odd challenge seekers exist, even if I can’t fathom people genuinely loving web programming.

      No. It’s a joke. Proper computer science is not about this level of computer programming. Computer science is more a field of mathematics that studies the computability of things. Like making the traveling salesman problem more efficient. Or how to most efficiently determine if a giant number is prime. Or how to scramble a message such that it is unduly difficult to unscramble without a key factor.

      Look at the pictures of bad examples. If at least half of them mildly infuriate you, he’s right. I disagree with icons-in-a-text-file with him because in a pinch (when you care so little about the font that you just use sans-serif), Unicode icons look passable if you overlook the platform inconsistencies. Of course, there is no gear icon but what are you gonna do about it? The ⚙️ emoji is close enough.
