Somebody at W3Schools doesn't like Fish

W3schools is a piece of shit that shouldn't be used anyway. They publish inaccurate information and always have. Plus, we have mdn, a similar concept for a website just executed 1000% better.

I've just started learning to code. ._. I have no Idea yet what is good and what not. I just looked up an example for Boolean and W3 Schools was the first that came up.

Why is it so bad? Everything Ive read so far from there was pretty accurate. But it was mostly beginner Stuff tho.

Like I said, they have incorrect information. I can't recommend MDN enough, especially because they have browser compatibility info

Beginner stuff is good enough as far as I remember, just try not to rely on it too much in the long term (since MDN is also a good alternative)

I don't think it's bad--it's impossible to make error-free material, and it's more error-free than not, for sure.

But other people are right: you'll "graduate" to MDN and not look at W3 Schools again.

Someone likes fish

What?

Did you just commented just because you saw W3School and didn't even read the image ?

That was hours ago and I lost context. However had I actually done that, justified.

W3schools does tend to be more beginner friendly that MDN

They still have some few good content. I didn't found an equivalent of the (inexhaustive) selector list of W3School on mdn.

Ive had to make websites on networks that block mdn but not w3schools for some reason

B-b-but fish is so good!! I like it more than chicken or beef actually... Especially if it's in sushi (Β΄β”“`*)<sup>drool~</sup>

They're not wrong though

Seafood is great, as long as you live near a coast. I think that gives a better chance that that "fishy" smell and taste is not overwhelming, because if that's what you don't like about it, I'm pretty sure it mostly shouldn't be that way, I think it tends to be more mild the fresher they are. When in-land stores and restaurants import fish, it could be longer between catch and cooking than a coastal place.

Or you just don't like any seafood and nothing will change your mind, also valid.

Seafood is meh if you didn't grow up eating it. Source: I grew up around Dallas (where fried catfish is as close as you usually get to fresh seafood) and I've lived in Seattle for >10 years without developing a taste for seafood.

Deep fried and fresh is okay. This includes fish, calamari rings, etc. Anything else is a hard no including oysters, prawns, non deep fried fish, lobsters, crabs, etc

If you need to deep fry something to like it, you don't actually like it

Couldn't agree more 🀣 That's why I tell people I don't like fish even though I do technically eat it.
