"I just wish that the guy who did the browser did a better job."

Amen! Last night I watched an "expert" explain how the thirty lines of Node.js that reinvents a SQL Join statement on the server just to get a some simple data to a browser on a phone.

Biatch please! The web still hasn't replicated the desktop apps we had 20 years ago. It's busted when you have to glue stacks of APIs with 4 or 5 separate programming languages together just to get a simple app to work. It's enough to make me run from phone apps and stick to the CLI and "normal" desktop GUI.
