When you stop and think about it it's really weird how the same #javascript is both the annoying '90s thing that script kiddies used to spam you with alert()'s or do flashing messages, and also the backbone of the whole cybereconomy and the means of choice for scraping all your personal information and psychological behavior in preparation for the technodystopia.
It's like if that weird kid in high school turned out to be a multimillionaire dictator.
(I was that weird kid. Not a multimillionaire dictator, though, yet.)
