    I’d say the bigger issue was people live-linking to the files rather than downloading and using a version controlled copy they can control.

        They don’t teach about Configuration Management in web-dev bootcamp

        Ha! Bullshit like configuration management, memory management, optimizing compilers, all obsolete technology! We don’t need that anymore with modern web browsers now that every single computer ever is connected to the Internet, and now that we have AI to write code for us!!! JavaScript is the one true language!
