There is a mix of kinds of people, but I am always surprised how many corporate types there are. I’d love to see a survey of jQuery users to really find out the makeup.

Then I realized that this design gaffe exposed just who really uses jQuery. It seems most of us are mid-career professionals tired of typing "document.getElementById" or "window.event" over and over, not timid Web novices afraid of everything command-line. Maybe now I can persuade tech leads that using a well-tested library or framework is not a sign of incapability.

I figured a style switcher would have been ok. I should redo my UX of the site analysis again. Now my issues are much more mundane, like hover states or font/color choices. Nothing dramatic, just nit-picky. It's amazing how different the site looks with that illustration. Its definetely a lesson.

First thing that came to my mind when first visiting the new jQ site was "how the hell did I end up on the Van Halen MySpace site?". I'm 25 and I felt too old for the site! Glad they've changed it now, though the gray empty bar looks kinda.. empty? Maybe they should stick the "Who's using jQuery?" logo thing there. Anyhow.. pozdrowienia z Polski ;).
