    Why does OpenAI want 10 year old answers about using jQuery whenever anyone posts a JavaScript question, followed by aggressive policing of what is and isn’t acceptable to re-ask as technology moves on?

      jQuery is still an excellent Javascript library

          jQuery will be still be around after the latest Javascript framework of the month is long gone.

            Maybe, but I wouldn’t say it’s really excellent.

            It was basically helping people deal with ancient browsers (particularly IE6) and a javascript runtime bereft of convenience features, at a cost of some syntactic awkwardness and performance.

            If you are targeting ES2020 and above, as is widely considered a reasonable requirement, you pretty much have the stuff that jQuery brings to the table, but built in without additional download and without an abstraction that costs some cycles.

      They probably aren’t looking for the factual information, perhaps more the logical thinking abilities.
