news.ycombinator.com James Sinclair 2025-11-12 15:57:30

This post is based on a talk I presented at Web Directions Summit, 2024. Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room. Why the heck am I talking about making mazes? Normally, I try to be practical when I’m writing or speaking. I want to give people tools they can use to make their coding lives better. So, I try to discuss things like creating DOM elements and processing JSON data. Because those things are practical. I would rather not waste people’s time on things they’re not going to us
