Most people applaud the tech skills needed to reproduce this bug (I do too). Some people shiver at the Mount Everest of clumsy JavaScript code needed to provide a usable web experience.

Can you believe that every app has a team of people who just maintain the app's code?

You don't need any javascript to provide a usable web experience. In fact, you are more likely to break usability with it.

In theory yes, in practice no. Which one matters?
