Why did webshitters decide to use the term Mutation?
>>
>>106446790
Because it sounds more legitimate
>>
Because mutability sounds better than constness or changeability.
>>
>>106446790
Because it takes the existing DOM and mutates it?
What would be the politically correct more inclusive term we all need to use according to the latest codes of conduct?
>>
>>106446821
No it doesn't, it reeks of dunning krugerism
>>
>>106446845
No, it doesn't """mutate""" it, it CHANGES it
so how about the word "change" like every other fucking programming language on the planet uses?
it reeks of special snowflakeism which webdev is rife with
>>
>>106446790
TROON takeover. I remember , when it used to be just a DOM manipulation.
>>
>>106446859
>troon takeover
then it should be mutilation observer kek
>>
>>106446790
isn't mutation a term from functional programming that predates webshitness?
>>
>>106446821
>>106446859
>>106447003
It's jeet takeover
>>
>>106446790
It's a mix of ego masturbation, incompetence, mental illness, and grift. They need to create artificial complexity to keep themselves relevant. Instead of creating a solution for a problem, they create solutions in search of problems. It's part of the problem/reaction/ solution strategy to gaslight people into using a particular paradigm, which causes a bunch of problems that shouldn't have even existed in the first place. These artificial problems are solved by another framework/library/programming paradigm.

Look up the definition of that word. Look up its synonyms. Ignorant fuckwaffle.

>>106447167
You don't understand how language works
We use basic words for things that need to be understood because it gives a cursory idea of the truth, It's why you were taught 'lava' instead of 'low viscosity basaltic flow'
Now that's the technical term, unfortunately it can be difficult to discern whether a term is technical or marketing without priot knowledge, this is inevitably exploited by marketers like you whose value is tied down to maintaining a veneer of complexity
It's also why I call myself a PLC Control Engineer instead of beep boop logic gate guy

>You don't understand how language works
That sounds a lot like a "REEEEEE" to me. Language works the way it does, even if you think it shouldn't. The word "mutate" has "change" as a synonym, and was in use prior to computers being invented. Even if you say Babbage made the first computer, that's still true.
Just accept that you're wrong. It's less embarrassing for everyone that way, Mr "PLC Control Engineer". You might want to check with an actual computer science curriculum for which terms are in use in future. There are a number available online.

The term is common and language-agnostic, retard.
>>
>>106447515
I was being deliberately comically pretentious about my profession there, it's honestly unfathomable to me you managed to not pick that up. The idea that a brain by advertising fried retard like you can school me about corporate communication is laughable, gr8 b8 m8.

It's a classic Freudian Slip. They know that DOM should be static, without JavaScript, and yet...
