There's a little secret I would like to tell you

There's a book of lies
I know they'll try to sell you
And they'll try, and they'll try
To convince you, you need JavaScript
So, the next time you're down
Look inside not around

There's no need for JavaScript.

There's no one to save you from being abused for the purpose of getting some statistics data or other data by JavaScript, but yourself ...

Don't believe the fairy tale that it is all only in order to improve user experience, because it is not.

Just try it out: what valuable information content does DEV provide to you if you disable JavaScript?

Right ... no content at all.

If your actual goal is really to enrich user experience with animations use css or svg and help to reduce waste of energy on Internet traffic using compressed SVG for displaying images.

I am sometimes on a slow Internet connection ... I know what I am speaking about. JavaScript on most online sites will prevent you from access to information if your Internet is too slow. There ARE sites which detect switched off JavaScript and provide their content anyway, so let's get more of them! As a web content developer you can help to make it happen.

Don't get me wrong ... you are always fully free to make your own choice, but ... if you urgently need the job ... you will need JavaScript like you will need vaccination in order to be part of Australian Open 2022 in tennis.
