> The web is built on this foundation of resilience, both in technology and ethos. It's what allows a website from 1996 to still render in a modern browser. It's what lets a page load even when half the CSS is invalid. It's what makes it magic.
The concept of graceful degradation in web feature support is dead now. Presently most of the web fails to render at all if you don’t execute a giant javascript blob in full that is responsible for putting the words on the page. It’s quite sad.
