The discovery of fire / ( awareness of its existence ) must have been an evangelical moment for our ancestors. The ability to keep their caves warm, eat warm pizza and boil bathing water. The last one there might be far-fetched but, it was FIRE! The discovery of the century you might say.
I love Javascript and appreciate the flexibility it offers. But what does this have to do with the meticulous, intellectual crafted paragraph above about human evolution? Like fire, Javascript if not properly handled can bring down the infamous 'production server'. That's where I come in.
