Wow. They took the javascript-only, broken page stupidity even further than current fad frameworks that only serve up an empty <body> tag. This linkedin page doesn't even include a body at all:

    <html><head>
    <script type="text/javascript">...</script>
    </head></html>
People who design such brazenly idiotic things should be promptly keelhauled.
The web embraces random hacks like this, it wouldn't be what it is without people doing stuff like this!
Oh no! It wouldn't be a mess of glitching, flickering, sliding about "dynamic" content slots that would actually work better as a plain static website... There are webpages that cause firefox to need more RAM than AAA games Sarcasm for (I hope) sarcasm
Well, I agree with that in particular. I find it very unsettling when I can't scroll a website on my i7 and GTX670 at home without it stuttering around.
On mobile first it tries to get me to login, then tries to get me to download the app, then says I have to login to read the article :-)
