I hate the whole web paradigm but it's what's in use and it's definitely improving. And in particular, jQuery makes it less painful so that's what many of us use (or similar JS frameworks). The same problem happens at the low end with the x86 instruction set. Yet we live with it.

None of that makes it OK to write a bashful title that should've read "Stop paying your ASP MVC JS tax" or something. It all comes down on how they need to have inlined JS requiring $(document).ready(). That's the problem and not jQuery.

"Bashful" means "shy," not "full of bash," as you seem to think. Actually, I wonder if you speak English natively as you seem to be the only person who interpreted the article the way you did.


You are right, I meant to use "bashing".

I do not speak english natively. But that has nothing to do with the bashing title. There is no "jQuery tax", that's a misleading statement.


He doesn't suggest that there IS a "jQuery tax", rather that people's common misuse of jQuery imposes a tax on page rendering.
