Spiders aren't happy with what you call "Web Design". Languages change over time. Even words like "nice" don't mean what they used to mean.

- DonHopkins 5y agoI always wondered why positive niceness makes processes run slower. That's not nice!
- smnrchrds 5y agoIf the process is very nice, it says "you first, sir" and "after you, ma'am" to everyone so it goes last.
- SilasX 5y agoYes, and it’s still noteworthy when it happens and still merits responding with countermeasures (like new terms) to ensure the meaning you want can be efficiently communicated without error. (Except for the the small part of the population that actively resists such efforts in the belief that they’ll have an advantage over others in correctly guessing the intended meaning, or that those that have a harder time don’t matter.)
- dehrmann 5y agoThese are different, though. "Web" in the context of the world-wide web is being used metaphorically. "Crypto" is clipped from "cryptocurrency."
- capableweb 5y agoWe're hardly building websites that form "webs" anymore but more like towers with bridges. We still call it the web though.
- cheeze 5y agoI don't understand the difference.
- dehrmann 5y ago"Web" pages are linked together in a way that can be visualized as a web. It's barely even a metaphor. In the context of the article, "crypto" is just a short version of "cryptocurrency." These terms came about through different mechanism.
