    That sounds like a real pain, as if you want to make functionality on old tech, then use new to “spruce it up” that’s not redundancy nor graceful degradation, it’s just developer torture

      To be fair, this was ~12 years ago and the web has changed a lot since then. But being able to submit a form without js still seems reasonable to me… it also means you are doing proper backend validation. Something I’ve noticed newer devs sometimes have no concept of.

      The concept doesn’t only apply to enabling JavaScript. The web standards are continuously evolving and you often have browsers that aren’t quite as up to date as others. When flexing the latest layout technologies or other functionalities, your website should still at least be usable in Safari.
