Again, I understand there are issues with the modern internet, but that article was unironically calling for the return of geocities. It's a hyperbolic clickbait title that has no place in a reasonable discussion about the actual issues that we're dealing with. Beyond that, I even quoted the passage I took issue with.

> In 2015, becoming a Web developer is all about learning Ruby or figuring out Node.js, not just building cool things you like.

This is patently wrong. Maybe it was harsh to call him a moron but the content was very weak in that particular piece.
