I would think Lint rules are better for encouraging this and has no run time implications. Easy escape hatches as well if you really want to crack the firewall to ship something urgently.

console.clear() is the worst. I've had to fight rogue calls to capture debugging information.

Everything old is new again.
Have a customer with a 25 y/o Oracle PL/SQL system that basically operates their business and they can barely iterate on it. Every year a new consultancy comes in with their flavour of microservices and tries to subsume some functionality and they choke on the monolith to end all monoliths.

What a surprise, a database technology that previously has made security a premium feature is unsecured.

The philosophy you are espousing is known in literary theory as "Death of the Author".
> argues against the method of reading and criticism that relies on aspects of the author's identity to distill meaning from the author's work.

I recommend Lindsay Ellis' video on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGn9x4-Y_7A
Many of the golden age authors rage from "just" problematic like Asimov to a lot worse (see for more: http://www.jasonsanford.com/blog/2018/2/golden-age-sf-not-go...). I still read these authors but I for one cannot help see the author in their books, and knowledge of their actions certainly influences how I interpret these books. I therefore don't believe in Death of the Author.

If you are interested in the FCC law/regs that brought about this change then check out Legal Eagle's video covering the subject. Very detailed and well presented, makes it clear that YT's hands are pretty tied on this matter.

I've not come across the term JAMstack before, why doesn't this make sense for using with AWS as the author suggests?
