Back when my startups were under the radar, I wanted to display a mailing address on my contact pages, but not my home address, of course.

For a long time, I stayed away from JavaScript. I would use it for very small interactions, but for major functionality like menus and UI, I stayed away. The reason was twofold:
So I missed the big Ajax revolution and opportunities thereof. Even when I finally caught up with Ajax at the end of 2005, I was still trying to use cross-browser goodness via if/else statements. Even as late as 2007, my berating of JavaScript could be heard amongst co-workers. Such encouraging phrases as “it’s object-based, not object-oriented” didn’t help me.

Every web developer tries to save time and effort when making a website. The sign of a good developer is the ability to turn laziness into efficiency. Instead of doing the same boring thing again and again and wasting time, a good developer will create ways to do it again in a way that reuses work they’ve done before.
