- leephillips 5y agoSorry for any personal offense; I was partly exaggerating for effect. If you’ve been able create, for a company or organization, a site that eschews all the abuse and annoyances of the modern web, I’d genuinely love to see it. Please supply a link.
- the_other 5y agoNo, I havn’t been able, and that’s the source of my frustration. In a medium or large company, it’s very difficult to get this opinion heard. Layers of decision-making and power plan this out months before hands-on devs get to do much good. In small companies, speed and cost-limiting almost demands we make bad decisions.
