Just curious.
Perhaps some websites do not make use of all the standards, thus browsers do not need support for all the standards for these websites to "work". For example, HN does not require a popular browser. In fact it can even be used without a browser. Why are so many "web devs" using HN but few to none of them can/will design similarly fast and flexible websites. Do "web devs" actually use the sites they design. Why would "web devs" use HN when it does not represent their own taste in websites. What does that mean.
- gilrain 5y agoWeb devs make the websites they are paid to make. I'm not sure why you think their output would reflect their taste rather than their employer's taste.
- epicide 5y agoExactly! In a lot of areas, we hear talk of how "the developers"[0] made this decision or that decision (e.g. mobile apps, games, web). But in reality, most developers have very little agency over technical decisions. Sure, they're the ones actually building it and choosing the exact tools and frameworks, but they have almost 0 control of their own constraints. Metaphorically, companies decide they only want to use nails because they're cheaper. Even if screws would be better. The conversation inevitably turns into frustration with developers' overuse of hammers. [0]: I get that we say "developers" to also include publishers/etc, but the term often morphs back into blaming the "technical implementers" on the team.
