The central problem with Angular is what is says about the software industry in general - that a framework so fundamentally and ridiculously flawed could invite such wide appeal suggests that many people have absolutely no idea what they are doing. The thousand monkeys approach to engineering has wide implications for security and safety of systems that we rely on. There is simply no way that you can say that you kno…

The page is not loading properly for me (on a Windows laptop with Chrome). When I use the given link I get "500 - InternalServerError Something went horribly, horribly wrong while servicing your request. We're sorry :-(" and when I go via javascriptkicks.com it keeps loading and never completes.

I somewhat assumed that the 500 error was evidence of the post's title, heh.

Thats a little hyperbole. I "support" it in that its an easy way for someone to make a typical web application without having to know the details of call vs apply, arguments, prototypes, etc, or writing a lot of boilerplate. So in that way I guess angular is for people who don't want to learn "javascript" - and thats what you see it being used for generally anyways.
