It's like tomorrow is always tomorrow -- it is never today. One thing that bothers me about the web dev community is the insistence that technology has a will of it's own. As if the web will just eventually win no matter what. I consider myself an advocate for the Web but it needs to be good or better than the alternatives.
So, joke aside, it doesn't follow from the rant that the web is the future. It follows that there is a lot of work that needs to happen before you can say it might be part of the future.
- hutzlibu 10y agoI don't like the dramatic at all. It allways has been the case, that if you used the most bleeding-edge features, you will bleed getting it to work everywhere. Very painful indeed, but I won't suspect, that this is going to change in the future, with so many people and companys involved. So if you need to ship products now, you have to use, what's stable enough, if you want to target everyone.
