"So much tech today is being built just to put a band-aid over this stuff, instead of addressing the core issue (the browser is no longer used to just deliver static documents)"
Am I the only one who thinks the sooner the web goes back to just delivering static documents, the better?
- Scarblac 6y agoFor the Web that would probably be good, yes. But many of us are application programmers using the browser as a UI platform, and that doesn't have that much to do with the Web proper.

- cageface 6y agoThis is never going to happen so what’s the point arguing that it should? As a dev if have to choose between a flawed but still very capable open platform and proprietary walled gardens where corporations wield absolute and arbitrary control I’ll take the open option and so should you.
