15 years trying to make everyone separate HTML, JavaScript, CSS – and then
The thing about Fuchs is that he&#x27;s a very smart guy, who is deeply embedded in the modern JS world, and is absolutely aware of what that code is doing, why it looks the way it does, why the trend in frameworks has moved the way it has, just how many times the argument he&#x27;s using has been advanced already, and how thoroughly it&#x27;s been trashed over the years.<p>He <i>knows</i> that what he&#x27;s said has been said a thousand times before, and he <i>knows</i> that every time it&#x27;s said a bunch of people will reply with &quot;separation of concerns, not seperation of technology&quot;, and he <i>knows</i> that&#x27;s a very valid counterargument which can&#x27;t be refuted in a tweet, which means he <i>also</i> knows how pointless this is.  Which in turn means that he&#x27;s not doing this to start a discussion, but just to get a rise out of people.  Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he might actually have an interesting point to add to the debate...but we&#x27;ll never know, since he thinks a better use of his time is trolling React developers than actually making his case for...whatever it might be.<p>One of the tweets in reply to him hit the nail on the head:
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;chrisbarless&#x2F;status&#x2F;810918115601158145" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;chrisbarless&#x2F;status&#x2F;810918115601158145</a><p>Sad.<p>Edit:  Scroll through Fuchs&#x27; twitter feed right now; he&#x27;s basically just non-stop trolling.  &quot;This is why we can’t have nice things&quot; &quot;Q: What is React? A: It’s PHP, but on the client.&quot; &quot;I can see how react is awesome if you build todo apps that do nothing. :)&quot;  Then when noting how a million people are disagreeing with him:  &quot;I think that means that I’m on to something.&quot;  No attempt at dialogue, no acknowledgement that there might be alternative viewpoints.  Almost every tweet is another dollop of smug arrogance.<p>It must be nice to have so much confidence that you never have to stop and wonder if there might be something new you <i>don&#x27;t</i> yet know.
