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.

Seriously. Why do you need to run a shitload of JavaScript just to display a damn article.

Bad habits. Those JavaScript kids nowadays ...

Thought the same thing for the fun.

After I turned off µBlock, it loaded alright(Chrome/OSX 10.8). I know a lot of people here love them an adblocker, so that might be the problem. It seems to be blocking a JSONP call somewhere, and thus the loader spins forever...

Using µBlock and loading

Might be a false positive on my part - between this and my phone, the thing is wildly inconsistent. Not sure this website is a great advert for the whole "everything should be a SPA otherwise you're a dinosaur" point of view...

Using µBlock and not loading for me

Only `google-analytics.com` is blocked when using default filter lists. The 500 error appears to be random, I got it both with and without uBlock.

Cool page, bro. I guess you don't really want people to read it.

It's not the browser, it's a server error.

I can't get it to load in Chrome (500 error), but it will load in Firefox.

Ironically, it works if you disable Javascript.

edit: seems to be working anyway.

Same here. Windows 8.1, Firefox 35.

Refreshing the page worked for me.
