jQuery write less, do more!

Source: https://medium.com/@hhartleyjs/why-i-switched-back-to-jquery-in-2024-and-why-youre-wrong-for-not-doing-it-f247b9830fcb

The Web Is Broken. jQuery Is the Cure.
Let’s cut through the hype: the modern web stack is a over-engineered, dependency-riddled wasteland, and I’ve had enough. After years of wrestling with React’s hydration errors, Vue’s composition API confusion, and Svelte’s “magic” that breaks the second you need to do anything real — I went back to jQuery. And you know what? It was glorious.

Here’s why you’re wasting your time with “modern” frameworks.

The Web Didn’t Need Fixing
Remember when websites just worked? When you could:
✅ Add interactivity in 3 lines of code
✅ Load a script without a bundler
✅ Actually understand what your code was doing

jQuery gave us that. Then frameworks came along and convinced us that a simple dropdown menu needed:

A virtual DOM
A state manager
A hydration strategy
17 layers of abstraction
Newsflash: Your blog doesn’t need React. Your e-commerce site doesn’t need Next.js. You’ve been scammed.

jQuery Is Faster (Yes, Really)
“bUt jQuErY iS sLoW!” — says the React dev whose app ships 400KB of JavaScript before the first paint.

Let’s compare:

jQuery (minified): 30KB
React + ReactDOM: 130KB (before your app code)
Vue + Vue Router: 80KB
Svelte: 45KB (but good luck debugging it)
jQuery loads instantly. Your SPA takes 3 seconds to hydrate. Who’s slow now?

Modern Devs Are Addicted to Complexity
The JavaScript industrial complex has convinced you that:

“You need a framework!” (No, you don’t.)
“SPAs are better!” (For who? Google’s ad revenue?)
“The virtual DOM is efficient!” (It’s a hack for a problem that didn’t exist.)
Meanwhile, jQuery solves 90% of frontend problems with 1% of the code:

// Show a modal (2024: 50 lines of React state)
$("#modal".show();

// Fetch data (2024: 3 hooks, a loading state, and suspense)
$.get("/api/data", function(response) {
console.log("Done.";
});
The jQuery Ecosystem Never Died
jQuery is still used on 77% of websites (W3Techs, 2024). Why?

Bootstrap still uses it.
WordPress still uses it.
Legacy codebases still run the internet.
And guess what? It still works. Meanwhile, your “modern” stack will be obsolete in 12 months.

When You Actually Need a Framework [None, as there is nothing you can do with React that you cannot do with jQuery]

The Bottom Line
The web dev industry profits from your confusion. They want you chasing new frameworks, new bundlers, new syntax — so you never realize how little you actually need.

🚀 Try it yourself:

Delete node_modules.
Add jQuery.
Build something today that would’ve taken a week in React.
Your users won’t know the difference — but your productivity will.

jQuery is fine, but saying “there’s nothing you can do with React that you can’t do with jQuery” is peak cope.

You can also build an app with vanilla JS and innerHTML. Doesn’t mean you should.

Frameworks exist because apps got complex, not because devs were bored.

Comparing jQuery to React by bundle size is like comparing a bicycle to a trailer truck and shouting “my bike is faster!”

One is for pages. The other is for applications.

Use the right tool instead of crying about tools you don’t understand.
“Web used to just work” — yes, and so did PHP mixed with HTML and MySQL in one file.

We moved on because maintenance, testing, scaling, and teamwork exist.

Legacy still running ≠ best practice. COBOL runs banks too.

Nobody is forcing React on your blog.

But building a real interactive app with jQuery in 2024 is suffering you choose.

If jQuery solves your problems, good. Don’t project your limits on everyone else.

“Delete node_modules and add jQuery”

Cool. Also delete Git, delete tests, and deploy with FTP.

Simplicity ≠ progress.
Comparing jQuery to React by bundle size is like comparing a bicycle to a trailer truck and shouting “my bike is faster!”

One is for pages. The other is for applications.

Use the right tool instead of crying about tools you don’t understand.

Scraping is not gaining unauthorized access to data. The data is publicly available in the first place. They can only sue you if you get data hidden behind login.

You can check hiQ Labs vs LinkedIn case. They won because there is right to scrape publicly available data from LinkedIn.

Whereas Proxycurl lost their case because they were registering with multiple accounts to scrape data out of linkedin, which is against their ToS

Their might be a thin line between scraping and hacking, but the difference is also wide.

Please note that I am not discrediting your work and effort in-fact i genuinely appreciate your creativity and being a startup myself, I know it takes the whole of you to make it work, am just concern about legal implications here and making you aware about it

platymus:
Well there are too many things i could have said to reply you but no time just know that there is difference between publicly available data and protected data. Sometimes data data will need to be scraped with user consent. Indeed it is a very thin line because even with publicly available data you can still be charged with illegally using owner's resources and APIs!

The hiQ Labs vs. LinkedIn case was a major legal battle over web scraping, where data analytics firm hiQ scraped public LinkedIn profiles for talent analytics, clashing with LinkedIn's anti-scraping measures and CFAA claims. After years of appeals, the Ninth Circuit ruled scraping public data doesn't violate the CFAA, but the case ended in a 2022 consent judgment with a permanent injunction, largely favoring LinkedIn's breach of contract claims, setting precedents on data access, terms of service, and privacy.

Legal Journey
Initial Dispute: LinkedIn sent a cease-and-desist; hiQ sued for declaratory relief, claiming access to public data.

Ninth Circuit (2019): Ruled that scraping public data doesn't violate CFAA, as it's not "unauthorized access".

Supreme Court (2021): Vacated the ruling, sending it back to the Ninth Circuit.

Ninth Circuit (2022): Reaffirmed its stance: scraping public data is generally okay under CFAA, but raised issues about contract breaches.

Resolution (2022): The case settled with a consent judgment and permanent injunction, stopping hiQ from scraping in exchange for LinkedIn paying hiQ's legal fees, resolving data scraping claims but acknowledging breach of contract.

Thereedemer:
You talk about it like hacking lol.

Yes because hacking means "gaining of unauthorized access to data in a system or computer."
So when you you scrape data from apps they can decide to take legal actions. That's why we have 'ethical hacking.'

Emeskhalifa:
Keep deceiving yourself.

You think it's same China of the 90s abi

Make America put body make we see na
China is silently praying for the day America will fall in their trap.

And you yourself don't know enough for thinking China has the capability to withstand US force. It's hidden;weapons and tech you not even heard off. China is only pursuing the dream of turning their country to America, and the only way? copy everything America!!! Don't just be deceived by those youtube videos that are displaying china weapons. America doesn't really want war except that they go for it when necessary. Japan made so much noise they were much deceived by the fact that America didn't respond with war so they believed they were technically superior and went on to bomb pearl harbor the rest is history. Four days after the boing Hitler declared war on US. hE WAS DEFEATED,,Japan was also defeated. China knows this,she does not want war but economic prosperity on but on the long run time China is building military might aiming to conquer the US! good luck China!

Atheistan:
Are you living under a rock?

Just take note that you may be invited anytime for provide evidence to substantiate your statement!!!

Omihanifa:
If only you know much these security agencies are making from assigning their men to private individuals and companies. You will know that tye directive from the president is clearly dead on arrival.

The former IGP of police IDRIS was making as much as 5billion naira monthly from posting his men to banks, companies, schools, embassies etc.

So tell me how you expect such a man to let go of that humongous amount of money.

Good! can you and will you provide evidence of this claim if we invite you to defend your statement?

olamsco2510:
Good day everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past 7 months.

As a developer, I've always struggled with scraping data from social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. It's usually a cat-and-mouse game; you write a script, it works for a few days, then they change a class name or block your IP, and you're back to debugging.

I decided to build a unified wrapper around these platforms to handle the messy parts (proxy rotation, captchas, headless browsers) so I could just get the JSON data I needed for my other projects.

It's called SociaVault. It basically lets you fetch public data from 25+ platforms via a simple API call.

I made it pay-as-you-go because I hated paying monthly subscriptions for APIs when I only needed a few requests.

If anyone is working on projects that need social media data (like influencer search tools or marketing dashboards), you might find it useful.

I'm looking for feedback on the API structure and if there are any other platforms you think I should add.

https://sociavault.com

Great you did something but beware of the legal implications! Why not channel the energy into building some other useful stuff!
"Scraping data from other apps can lead to legal issues including breach of contract, copyright infringement, and violations of privacy laws like the GDPR and CCPA. The legality often depends on the app's terms of service, the type of data being scraped, and the scraping's purpose, which could result in civil penalties, fines, or even criminal prosecution for unauthorized access to a computer system."

Cashio:
Israel where dem born christ dey fight with weapons. But these charlatans tell you to pray. Fools

You didn't notice you are the most foolish for lack of understanding. Assuming you know what is written in scriptures as touching Israel, Christ and the Church you will not statement as above!!!

What Tech Stack would you suggest for a man in his late 30s, who has been in the non-coding aspect of tech but is now considering entering into core tech?

Now these are his considerations:

1. He doesn't want a tech stack that would make him think too much because of high blood pressure.

2. He wants a tech stack that is procedural, i.e., once he learns the skill, the skill can be applied directly to solve real-world/industrial challenges.

3. A tech stack that has job prospects both home and abroad (i.e., not saturated field).

Which would best fit his description amongst the following options:

a. Fullstack development
b. Software testing
c. Cybersecurity
d. Data analytics/data engineering
e. Salesforce administration
f. UI/UX design/product management
g. Robotics
h. Mobile app development
i. DevsOp engineer

Based on his criteria, let's evaluate each option practically:

✅ Requirements Recap
Requirement Meaning
No intense thinking Stack shouldn't be mentally draining like hardcore algorithms daily
Procedural learning Learn → Apply → Get results (not overly conceptual)
Good job prospects worldwide In-demand & not overly saturated
🎯 Best-fit Options

Ranked by suitability:

1) Software Testing (Manual + Automation) ✅✅✅

Why it fits:

Clear step-by-step/problem → test → validate flow

5.Low competition compared to software dev

Note: Can later move to Salesforce Developer if desired.

3) Data Analytics ✅✅

Why it fits

1.Structured and procedural (collect → clean → analyze → visualize)

2.Less mentally stressful than heavy-math data science

3.Jobs exist everywhere (finance, health, logistics, gov)

4.Tools are beginner-friendly

Path

1. Excel → SQL → Power BI/Tableau → Python (optional)

Avoid full-DS track unless he later feels comfortable.

🟡 Honorable Mentions

These could work depending on personality but may introduce more mental strain.

4) UI/UX / Product

1.More creative than technical

2.Less "mental debugging stress"

3.But job market is crowded

5) Cybersecurity

1.Good demand & pay

2.But requires constant learning + pressure situations

bro I’m not new to tech and I’m currently in the US
I am not a coder or programmer but I love innovation and I’m currently working on one in the edtech space. I’ve got 3000 pre sign which validate it demand. My question in as much on everything you stated, we still developers who re doing well, like those who are currently working with foreign client and get paid in hard currency. Can’t they come together and out in resources together and build an ecosystem to scale different ideas?. Elon and his pals that created PayPal are all programmers who came together and put resource together to fund it and today they’re all doing well, elon is an example. Bro we can do it and it not had

First i will like to appreciate the points you raised above in your post. My contribution to this is we need to understand creativity is hard generally and i mean real creativity. It is about connecting dots.When the dots form a shape you have a brain child,i am talking about building home grown solution to our challenges in Africa and Nigeria specifically. But thinking is hard that's why many don't think. A disturbing statistics says that only 5% of the world population truly thinks, 15% think they are thinking and 80% would rather watch the TV than think. This factor alone is responsible for the many excuses we give for lack of creativity in this part of the world.
it is true that we are faced with problems of infrastructure, diathetic electricity, bad government policies, unfavorable economic conditions, etc. but this is not the whole truth as many great companies and industries rose in the most difficult times. As youths we need draw inspirations from others because the secrets of men are in their stories. China have a 20 years plan to be as the USA.We need Inspiration. Creativity is actually 99% inspiration and 1% perspiration. We can move forward looking at our obstacles. A wise man once said obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes waw from our goals. Creativity won't drop on our laps we have to take definite conscious steps.
Another problem i see among us is lack of business sense and perspective.Yes we have developers,engineers,scientists, etc. Many don't have the necessary knowledge to build something off the ground hence the reason thousands are chasing hundred jobs causing high unemployment rate. Man creatives still to undertake studies on subjects such as marketing, raising money,intellectual property,building visionary companies, reading financial statement, taxes, etc. Entrepreneurship skills are less taught in schools
Also many don't want to make mistakes but a fundamental rule of creativity is fail fast fail forward, it is a process and God too when through it in Genesis 1. Google has so many failed projects than the successful ones.
We need to take this challenge and come up with unique solutions to the problems facing us in this part of the world.Many solution we are employing currently are not as effective they borrowed from white guys but that it is white does not mean it is right and black is not synonymous to lack. The human brain is the same number of cells, same size no matter the race or color.From fact, no man on earth till date has used up to 5% of his brain. I challenge every one of you today to be creative no matter your state or level. See yourself as a solution.


Today i work with two startups one in the edtech and the other i am not allowed to mentioned. We are 70% on the journey without any investor yet not that we don't need investors but we also need to do our homework first

GeniusHawlah:
Do they still select kings with Oracle now?

Or MongoDB has taken over?

The now query it with nestjs at the backend and nextjs at the frontend to get who will be the next king

Xtfield:
Please folks, I need an offline CBT for my school students. Anyone into such stuff should please mail me: solomonchristfield@gmail.com
Thank you

If you school is based in Nigeria we can come for a presentation so you see our solutions in the educational sector. Book a space and be listed among selected institutions for our presentations.

airsaylongcome:
Okay. And when you say offline, care to explain a bit? One that runs on a local server in your school (without access to the internet)? Where the students access the CBT software using computers on your local Lan? Do you know how to install web-based software on a local Lan? (web-based does not mean internet hosted)

Am not against your solution but there are issues with it:
1. using a local host will mean investing in more hardware infrastructure over time
2. The same cbt solution will not be usable for other purpose such as home work assessment where student can practice at home
3. No single source of truth as data is scattered on different computers. The list goes on.........

Rather than using a localhost I will at worst use indexdb for offline storage and if questions are needed for future purpose the it should sync with an online database or convert the questions to a pdf file and make it downloadable

To add to this thread! I am cofounder of an edtech. One of our solutions is a cbte(Computer Based Test and Exam) software. It is accessible on desktop,mobile and web. Exams are not accessible on mobile only mock test or take home assessment. Questions could be text, picture, voice or video. You can also generate questions using AI,etc. It has a tons of features; monitoring,analysis,etc. It works offline and sync for organisation and educational institutions who have subscription account with us. To ensure exam takers don't exit the app(especially on desktop) it is fullscreen mode when the questions are set for exams. I believe the features I listed above should help you, even if you going to be a competition!

Let’s Take Control: Why Can’t We Build Our Own Websites and Host Them from Home?

In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses, developers, and even hobbyists are heavily reliant on external web hosting services—whether it's shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), or dedicated servers. However, the idea of building our own system and hosting websites directly from our own machines is something that deserves a deeper discussion.

Why can’t we take control of our own digital space and build a custom server for hosting our websites from home? Why do we have to rely on companies like Amazon, GoDaddy, or Bluehost to handle all our hosting needs? Shouldn't we, as a community, explore the possibilities of creating and configuring our own servers, controlling the entire process, and making our websites available to the world directly from our own systems?
Reclaiming Control Over Our Digital Space

We live in a world where hosting a website has become incredibly easy, thanks to countless hosting providers offering services that range from shared plans to powerful dedicated servers. But with that convenience, we also hand over a significant amount of control to these providers.

Let’s be honest for a moment: Have we ever stopped to think about what we’re really giving up? Security concerns, limited customization, and the fact that we often have to pay a recurring fee for the privilege of having our website online—these are just some of the challenges we face. On top of that, many web hosting services limit us on how much we can scale or configure. These limitations often make it difficult to achieve the exact solution we want.

That’s why I believe it’s time we consider building our own servers and hosting our websites locally, bypassing the need for third-party hosting altogether. By doing this, we can have complete control over our systems, configurations, and even cost. Imagine being able to configure your server exactly the way you want, ensuring that it meets all of your needs, from security to performance and even customization.
The Power of Hosting from Home

When you think about it, there’s something empowering about being able to host your website from the comfort of your own home. Here’s why we should seriously consider taking that step:

Cost-Efficiency: Hosting websites on external servers often comes with ongoing fees. Whether you’re paying monthly or annually, you are essentially renting server space that belongs to someone else. By hosting your website from home, we cut out these costs entirely. With the right setup, you can keep your infrastructure in-house, eliminating recurring bills to external hosting companies.

Total Control: One of the biggest frustrations with using shared hosting or even VPS is the lack of control. You’re often restricted by the configurations provided by the hosting company. This means if you need something special—whether it’s a unique configuration for your database, a custom environment for your application, or even just specific PHP settings—you have to wait or pay for a higher-tier service. By hosting your website at home, you gain full control of the server, ensuring it fits your exact needs.

Learn and Innovate: Hosting from home doesn’t just save money or give you control—it also provides you with a hands-on learning experience. If you’ve ever wanted to delve deeper into server management, networking, or even security protocols, hosting your own site is the perfect opportunity. You get to understand everything that goes into running a website, from setting up Apache to managing firewall rules. You’ll be in charge of every step of the process.

Customization and Flexibility: Let’s face it—hosting companies often have their own set of pre-configured environments that don’t always match what we want. Maybe you need specific PHP extensions or different versions of MySQL. Maybe you need more CPU power or RAM than they offer. When hosting from home, the sky's the limit in terms of how much you can tweak and customize your environment.

Privacy and Security: External hosting services come with their own risks—like data breaches, outages, and even misuse of your data. Hosting your website from home gives you the ability to implement your own security protocols. With the right setup, you can ensure your website is more secure than relying on a third-party provider. Of course, you’ll need to be diligent in setting up firewalls, using encryption, and regularly updating your systems—but that’s all part of taking full responsibility for your server.

Redundancy and Backup: By hosting from home, you can implement your own backup solutions. In contrast to shared hosting, where backups may or may not be available, you can set up redundant systems, mirrors, and automated backups that fit your unique needs. This way, you won’t have to worry about data loss or downtime.

Why Haven’t We Done It Already?

So why isn’t everyone hosting their websites from home right now? Well, there are a few obstacles that come to mind:

Technical Complexity: Setting up and managing your own server requires some technical expertise. It’s not as simple as clicking a button and having everything set up for you. You need to have some knowledge about networking, security, and server configuration to get your website running smoothly.

Internet Connectivity: Another challenge is having a reliable, high-speed internet connection. Many home internet connections don’t have the bandwidth or uptime required to support hosting a website 24/7. Additionally, most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) don’t provide static IPs for home connections, meaning your IP address may change periodically, making it difficult for others to access your site reliably.

Security Concerns: Exposing your local machine to the internet brings security risks. If not properly configured, your server could be an easy target for hackers or malicious actors. This is where learning about firewalls, encryption, and other security best practices comes into play, but it adds to the complexity.

Hardware Requirements: Depending on the scale of your website, hosting it at home may require more hardware than your typical laptop or desktop computer can provide. Hosting a resource-intensive site or running a database-heavy application could require additional investment in server-grade hardware.

But We Can Overcome These Obstacles—Together!

Now, I don’t believe any of these challenges are insurmountable. In fact, I think it’s an opportunity for us to come together as a community and work on building and configuring our own solutions.

We can collaborate to share knowledge, experiences, and even resources to create a setup that works for all of us. If you’re someone who already has some knowledge of server management, networking, or security, your experience could be invaluable to others in the group. And if you’re a beginner, there are tons of resources we can share to help you get up to speed.

The fact is, we don’t need to rely on hosting companies anymore—especially when we have the tools and the knowledge to build our own. Whether you want to host a simple website, run a personal project, or even create a platform to support your business, the possibilities are endless.

Let’s build this together. Let’s take control of our websites, our data, and our digital futures.

If you’re interested in diving into this exciting journey, feel free to contact me! Let’s talk about how we can configure and optimize our systems to run a fully functional website directly from home. Together, we can learn, share, and create something that’s truly our own.

Let’s stop relying on others—let’s take the first step in building something unique! Contact me on this platform to start building today.

How come you have been reading my mind lately? I quite agree with you! I have been studying how this will be but it going to take some not too long tie to come up with a viable solution that will compete in the digital space! It require some serious studies and practice. Some of the subjects to digest include Linux,cloud computing,etc. Let me even list the most important ones here:
1.Hardware & Infrastructure(Learn about different types of servers (rack-mounted, tower, blade, etc.), CPUs, RAM, SSDs/HDDs, RAID configurations, and cooling systems.),

2. Networking & Security (Networking Basics – TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, and subnetting.
Data Center Networking – Configuring and managing high-speed network connections (Fiber, 10GbE, etc.).
Cybersecurity – Firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention, DDoS protection, VPNs, and zero-trust security models.
SSL/TLS Encryption – Setting up HTTPS and securing client connections.)

3.Operating Systems & Virtualization (Linux & Windows Server – Master administration of server OSs like Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS, or Windows Server.
Virtualization – Learn VMware, Proxmox, or KVM for creating and managing virtual servers.
Containerization – Docker and Kubernetes for efficient service deployment.)

4.Storage & Data Management (Storage Solutions – SAN (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network-Attached Storage), and distributed storage solutions like Ceph or GlusterFS.
Backup & Disaster Recovery – Implement automated backups, snapshots, and failover strategies.
Database Management – MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and replication techniques.)

5.Web & Application Hosting (Web Servers – Apache, Nginx, or LiteSpeed.
Database Integration – Connecting backend databases to hosted applications.
Email Hosting – Running your own mail server (Postfix, Dovecot, Mail-in-a-Box))

6. Automation & Management (Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet for automating server deployment.
Monitoring & Logging – Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Billing & Client Management – WHMCS, HostBill, or custom-built solutions.)

7.Legal, Compliance & Business Operations (Data Privacy Laws – GDPR, CCPA, Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).
Business Licensing – Registering your business and obtaining necessary permits.
Support & Customer Service – Providing 24/7 technical support.)

8. Connectivity & Redundancy (ISP & Bandwidth Management – Negotiating with ISPs, getting static IPs, and ensuring uptime.
Redundancy Planning – Setting up failover systems and geographically distributed backups.)

thriftplus.pythonanywhere.com

I have seen it but as developer(web, mobile and desktop) I built things rom scratch not just depending on existing solutions. Also client sometimes want customize solution that meet their customers' need and alien with their branding.
