"Don't use JS for web development? (I need to pay my bills)"
This is not what I meant, but I will say that you don't need to pay your bills by making the web any more of a spyware and adware infested sewer than it already is.
You as a developer and a human being have a choice of what to do with your life and your career.
No one is forced to be a JS developer, and it's ridiculous to pretend you are.
It doesn't mean that you in particular are. But the web is spyware and adware infested. That's just a fact. And that stuff doesn't write itself.
There are huge number of spyware and adware authors out there. It's very likely that quite a few of them are HN readers, and a pretty good chance that they're this article itself (as it concerns their business).
Do I have any reason to believe that you in particular are one of them? No.
Can I address such people when I reply to someone in a thread on browser fingerprinting who claims they need to write JavaScript to pay their bills? Yes.
You have remarkably taken a comment which makes little sense and made it make less sense with each successive post. Eventually, there will be zero meaning to it entirely.
