Your argument has merit.
I'm just going to point out that NCSA Mosaic was released in 1993, and the hand-wringing over it being an absolute memory pig is more 1999 than 2019.
But your overall point is well-taken.
- ajross 5mo agoFWIW, I wrote 2019 as a representation of "last year before AI mattered" and not when people cared about the early web. Also by 1999 Mosaic had been forgotten and everyone was running Netscape and IE4. :) To wit: complaining about AI software quality right now is isomorphic to whining about how much the early web sucked. It did suck. But it was still the future.
