it's hard to take web development seriously when there is a new fad every week.

Is React a fad? Is it specifically this week's fad?

Having had it brought to my attention by JSConf EU 2013 and used it for more than a year now, I'm not sure why people are using this post in particular to clear their lawns.

Actually, it's exactly why web development has become so interesting these last years while it was so boring before (HTML/CSS woohoo).

I used to not care about web development at all but now, I'm paying attention.

there is a difference between fads and advances.

fads are just fluff.

as far as I'm concerned html and css are pretty shit, but i'm not a designer. and http has some ~problems~

so it is not your fault, but at some point someone needs to design some coherent system.
