Perhaps first we could think about getting rid of jquery et al
I agree. However, one of my more cowboy colleagues who labours under the misaprehension that 7 years experience is experienced enough not to listen to those with multiples of that, has determined that all sites should be made responsive and slick via jQuery. There's literally no talking to him about it, or why JavaScript is one of the biggest security risks an enterprise can permit.
With the advent of node.js things have gotten worse still. Now he just wants to write html + js front ends for everything, whether it belongs in a browser or not, and have that talk to a js back end. There's literally no understanding of secure computing, EVAL() risks, threading issues, or maintainability. TDD is that other bloke who had an excellent adventure with Bill, apparently.
