Both authors have 8+ years of experience, so it does strike me as a controversial take for clicks & views.

Web workers definitely have their place to be useful. I think we can just take it as "Web workers weren't the right solution for this".

Still an interesting read.

I am appalled at the code I wrote when I was 8 years into the proffesion.

I would also be wary of any code I wrote after 16 years (though some I do... the very pure no dependency stuff!)

In 2 years that'll be 3x8 years and I hope to pass the audition.

This is funny to me in a way. When I look at my very first few non-trivial Haskell projects, I still like the code. Are there ways to improve it? Things I've learned? Sure. But the code is still perfectly good and fine. Maybe things are just different outside the Turing Tarpit.

Well that's just you. Some of us got the gist of it a bit earlier. No shame in being a slow learner though.
