Shorter: Based on one or two poorly coded web apps, which are also examples of the best web programming ever, I have concluded that web developers are stupid.
Shorter comment thread: I have decided that all of the hard CS problems in web programming, including, but not limited to, scaling, machine learning and recommendations, high availability and fault tolerant systems, and everything google does, are called "server programming," because I would otherwise have to admit that many web developers are smarter than me. Also, javascript was not designed from the ground up by Microsoft to draw graphics on a canvas, so everyone who uses it for that purpose is also stupid.
