Maybe it's because I'm younger (read: under 30, but pushing it), but I simply don't have patience for the attitude expressed in this article. The author's single main point (as I read it) is that he just wants his content to "keep working" without having to put in any ongoing effort or maintenance, and without keeping up with relevant news. That's never going to be a reality in an ecosystem like the web, and I'd argue it's probably not a reality in any consumer ecosystem available today (mobile/desktop/server/etc). They all update, and require applications to keep up with at least minor tweaking. The part I lose patience with is this: he's advocating for a complete loss of user security and privacy in favor of ease of use for HIM, the developer. Because he won't or can't do his damn job, or because he values their (and by extension: mine) privacy and security so little he's not willing to put in the time or effort.
