happy days was running out of ideas and wanted to continue to retain audience attention and had The Fonz water ski and jump over a shark. silicon valley was running out of ideas, but steve ballmer famously delivered the Developers, developers, developers speech paving the way for capturing developer market share, for a platform with platform developers is no platform at all. there’s tooling that solves technical problems and tooling that business problems. a system has “jumped the shark” when there are at least five ways to accomplish the same thing and the audience was just trying to have some happy days on the tubes. my core hunch is that the ecosystem is a compile target versus a respected platform and that’s where i believe the shark has been jumped. the web is cool, if only we stopped trying to jump it and befriend the shark already. the long answer is, i’ve got a bespoke markdown like syntax i’m using for both a web publishing and screenplay authoring. i feel no difference between telling stories in interactive web formats or printed pages. maybe i’m jumping the shark.
