I think this is an overly cynical view. I don't think anyone actually strives for mediocrity. Maybe someone might rationalize it after the fact -- "I did that on purpose to increase page views." The fat cat PM smoking a cigar and pulling at

I think this would be more valuable if it integrated: * Syntax highlighting * Saving * HTML Entities * Code completion * Clean up or 'tidy' function to format the code * The ability to modify the <head> attribute (if it's possible)

It's kinda strange to me that CSS devs (designers? devigners?) would violate DRY in such an egregious way every time they want to create a gradient: background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(rgba(220,220,220,0.6

Can you imagine if Netscape had managed to stifle free alternative implementations (not simply alternatives; free alternatives). I don't think anyone could refute the idea that the world would be a much better place right now if Microsoft

Jason Fried reminds me of Ken Lay of Enron. He needs to be grounded. I work from home. Coming into the office: after weeks and weeks, I develop a pattern. It's extremely different than my first week at work. My first week coming in to the o

UX is complex enough, and important enough, to be its own discipline. I've been a developer for eight years, and guys doing UX/IA have improved the quality of the sites I've worked on tremendously.

I think the article is a bit disingenuous. It's actually finding the carbon footprint of animated banner ads (since the only Flash content on the page right now seems to be a lone video player that does not autoplay). A more interesting tes

Totally true -- as I see it, in the year 2015: The big problem isn't HTML5 itself, but what people make in it. Most of the crap HTML5 sites out there are made by graphical designers who have no knowledge about programming, and typically onl

It can be crawled; moreso than a bit of <canvas> (canvas is used in a similar manner to the way Flash is sometimes used). It can be deeplinked, just as asyncronous js/HTML can be deeplinked (using a code library). Video, audio, vec

I'm a person who thinks that the web is the most important invention in the history of humanity, first, and a Flash developer second. We absolutely do not want to secede from the web. We love the web so much that we want to use the most pow

Seriously, what do you think would happen if, magically, all those Flash ads disappeared one day? Bloated, gif-based animated ads and/or HTML5 <canvas><audio><video> animated ads would take their place. (With, in man

Apple doesn't have a public API for Adobe to hook into to allow for hardware acceleration. As far as I know, there's nothing Adobe can do to remedy that situation. Adobe wants to bring better video performance to the Mac, but Apple is not s

PhotoShop may be the oldest program running on your computer now. The fact that there's even a modicum of commonality in the UI is amazing. While I agree that there's a lot of room for improvement, anyone working who's ever touched legacy c

They seem to have taken this advice to the extreme: Buy a song. Last year, it would have been "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. This year, maybe it's "Ain't too Proud to Beg."

Not to besmirch your AS coding abilities, nor to reopen old wounds, but the dev in me is begging some questions and debugging your comment. Your first issue seems like it was likely caused by using an incorrect ratio of viewable content to

Besides the mouse scroll wheel hack (which is only necessary for Macs if memory serves), what other limitations did you need to circumvent in order to address scrolling in Flash? I've built more than my fair share of scrollbars over the yea

I'm curious as to why you feel it's unfortunate to add so many layers of abstraction over the system. Besides the "All abstractions are leaky abstractions" argument, is there any other reason you feel like this is a bad thing? Or is it ruff

Maybe Adobe will invest a few bucks in making the code/documentation behind Omniture's tracking system less like beholding something from an H.P. Lovecraft novel.
