@bphogan You have an exceptional ethic! You understand your role, and may you long see it that way and be so helpful to your students.

@bphogan I've spent a career around colleagues in education who are burnt out, don't care, don't want to know, just teach by a bad book.

@bphogan Yes, and you're paying attention, and thank goodness for that. You are spot-on in your approach and fortunate you call the shots.
@justmarkup Equally disturbing indeed! Heh. "Full Tools" dev - that's funny. And related to the how we learn concern, I believe.
@heydonworks @danielmall Sorry about that. I missed a couple of years - is Javascript First (ahead of HTML/CSS) a widespread concept?

@danielmall Not as opposed to HTML/CSS. As opposed to learning bits and pieces of Javascript Frameworks. Good clarification! Thank you!

@rcherny A very happy new year to you and yours as well! Woohoo!
@rcherny I see that. I'd describe it more as "everything's going to the browser" but yes, same side of a one sided coin ;-)

Educators, coworkers, colleagues working in front-end dev - we definitely need to encourage a #JavascriptFirst ideology. Learn the language.

@jimshreds That's an incredibly strong point, Jim. Even I forget the "popularity factor" if you will. Absolutely advocate #JavascriptFirst.
@Chasapple @joemullin I'm with the @EFF - they properly awarded it as being stupid, because it is. ;-)
@Step_Quick It makes sense - you can see the benefits of each as you are an accomplished dev. I worry. Think about the children! ;-)
I'm concerned about framework-itis. Front-end devs are tasked with SO much now! It's an educator's nightmare now and that's not a good sign.

I'm laughing. Hope you are too. Some people's kids!

@SailorjX Look at you, you devilish man you ;-) Enjoy the movie, and whatever strikes back (oh, that's pun prison for me alright)

@SailorjX ANY? Ever? Is it rude to say that's some seriously long overdue cherry-popping? ;-)
