My favorite part about Base Web is that it's broken.

How to reproduce:

1. Visit the official website https://baseweb.design/

2. Click "Welcome" on the sidebar.

3. "An unexpected error has occurred."

No thanks, Uber. Your community of broscience engineers permanently lost me as a customer after the Susan Fowler writeup, and I'm not interested in your buggy technology either.

It's probably because I'm using uMatrix and it's blocking something "critical" that breaks when you try to visit the Welcome page.

Wait so you are blocking their javascript then claiming it's broken?

I was curious, and I just went in and tried blocking the google analytics, google tag manager, and everything from cdn.jsdelivr.net, and even some random scripts (like the commons.js file), and everything still worked fine as far as I could tell...

It's loading the first-party scripts (all 58 of them), but there must be even more delivered by a CDN that it requires.

"bioscience engineers". Uber is HQ'd in San Francisco and is 95% democrat/liberal engineers. Ask someone that works there.
