Standards people today are, almost across the board, completely detached from product people.
From the developer perspective, who wants to sit on mailing lists or participate in forums and argue about wording and syntax verbiage?
From the 'standard people' perspective, writing the code is 'the easy part', and getting all these competing interests (ie: other standards people) to agree on something is the 'hard part'.
They're both right...
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoI wish standards people spent all of their time on mailing lists, things would happen faster. These are the people who write code for browsers, for the most part. We also need people who are working on websites to be in there and it seems like web devs are underrepresented.
