+<p>I would first like to point out a couple things before starting my rant,
+first of which is that I am talking about the web, <b>not</b> the internet. To
+simplify this distinction for the non-techies who might be reading this,
+the web is what you see in your browser (like this web page, unless you're
+RMS and you read this by downloading the HTML), while the internet is
+any sort of connection between two or more machines (including the web).
+Second is that there are parts I like about the web or more so being a user
+of the web, but what I'm focusing on here is mostly having to do with why I
+hate web development, not so much the web in and of itself.</p>
+
+<p>So, to get straight to the point, I hate aesthetics, I much prefer to focus
+on functionality and the "Does this work?" of things rather than the
+"Does this look pretty?". That's not my job, in fact, I'd argue that it's
+no one's job, developers make something functional and marketing sells the
+product as if it were the most important invention
+since the print-press. But for some reason in web development people seem
+to care a lot less about functionality and a lot more about aesthetics, and
+I believe that this has to do with the fact that the web is <b>purely
+graphical</b>. Being purely graphical it gets attention from a lot of people,
+including those who pay more attention to how their tool looks than "Is
+this working correctly?". Not only that, but it's impossible for you to
+create a CLI (command-line interface), that wonderful world where people
+can stop paying attention to X and Y locations of buttons and more on if
+the thing works correctly.</p>
+
+<p>At least in fields such as C++ or even Java the focus is still a little
+more focused around functionality, but this is because both can be used to
+create plain CLI applications and are often used for that purpose. Heck,
+a lot of people even create engines, and there's no aesthetics there.
+Meanwhile, in languages such as JavaScript you can't do that, sure you can
+create an engine, but you can't create any CLI applications, can you.
+JavaScript was made to simply modify HTML from the client instead of the
+server doing it and sending it to the client, and all HTML does is markup a
+graphical environment in your browser.</p>
+
+<p>However, another cause I can see for this is which is more probable is that
+the web has become popular. A lot of important and valuable inventions in
+history that ended up gaining popular use lost any value they had as they
+started to be used by idiots with no respect for the pain that went into
+the thing and complain when they see something that looks weird or
+they run into a small little bug that they could just avoid (yet, they
+never want to contribute and fix the thing), and they end up using it to do
+the same stupid things they did before but now with the new technology. You
+need not look any further than the TV that you most likely own. That bit of
+technology was created to educate people, to send information via video to
+thousands of people, and how are we using it? To watch the Kardashians...
+If I were the creator of the TV I would want to commit suicide for creating
+such a device that allows for such content that it lowers the IQ of the
+viewer a few points every time they see it. So what happened with the web?
+Well, it became popular, and the same idiots that made the TV what it is
+today decided to start invading the new frontier that was made for creators
+and intellectuals and turn it into a place where the only thing that
+matters is 'Muh convenience!' and 'Muh entertainment!'.</p>
+
+<p>Now, putting that aside, I still use the web (obviously, I have a website)
+and there are still positives to the web if you know where to go to avoid
+'normies' who make into the obnoxiuos place that it is currently. Want to know
+where those places are? Get off your Facebook and Twitter and start going
+to the less popular sites where your friends most likely don't hang out.</p>
