- sreevisakh 6y agoReminded me of a quote from another one of Drew's blog posts: "The web and web browsers have become Lovecraftian horrors of an unprecedented scale. They’ve long since left “scope creep” territory and entered “oh my god please just stop” territory, and are trucking on through to hitherto unexplored degrees of obscene scope." [1]. I sometimes feel like many standards and software (incl open source) are designed to make it impossible for an individual or small team to implement or manage.
