Thank you for joining me on this long strange thread inspired by a long time friend who's seen this go on and who still loves the web and loves the people and loves the world. We survived a pandemic still went to school saw the doctor socialized with loved ones.

This is a web where we have too many that actors and what is truly a Passion Play. We need to bring back our hearts and remember why we do this at all it's not to pad the pockets of the future it's definitely not to make one man powerful who harms others. The web opens the world.

We have ideas like the whole no code low code concept which right now to me for the most part seems marketing and business Without developers in mind it seems to me most will fail. The web being programmed alone unsustainable to my thinking.

I don't need to force a web specification to make an application when an application language to do it just as well what we do need to do is look at our tool box and say hey this tool is best for this and that one for that and not be hammering screws and screwing nails.

I think we need to reframe our world wide web first as accessible and I'm not speaking about the technology of accessibility or the idea that it has anything to do with disability rather we empower ourselves with tools so strong and do not obfuscated content. We refine our tools.

We need to know a little more about how to shore up our stack we need to secure every layer of the internet the world wide web and we need to deal with single stakeholder agreed as we see with social networks oh stop do we need alternative networks like onion?

We also have in my opinion way too much technical fragmentation in framework development CSS moving away from declarative and don't tell me it isn't because I see syntax from the C language in there a little too much and well JavaScript is strong we need to reset a full stack

These are dark times we have separatist, racist, binary fights, a world of malicious advertising, Bots, misinformation, agitation to violence, and yet a spirit Among Us that perseveres. Sir Tim berners-lee is working on solid his idea of one solution we have so much work to do

We need a call to Arms. We need to secure our platforms we need checks and balances it is not a joke at all to say that we have lost incredible people to internet freedoms and the right to do evolutionary technology open and collaborative way. So what are we to do?

And we entered a time we are in now where we see a proliferation of so many Frameworks libraries B pieces of applications the whole no code low-code approach Rage Against the Cascade and CSS and then return to really sloppy markup apis Galore that powerful indeed we saw a problem

Another chapter began this time much darker and a lot of different worlds in which we saw a merge. But we didn't stop and we haven't stopped and JavaScript via ecma 6 and CSS working group worked and we saw strengthening of accessibility and a push from Missoula politically

Absolutely devastating but never did I stop paying attention Edward Snowden had just a few years earlier whistle blown and was in Russia and Brenda Nike came out with a new browser called Brave and The Onion network with TOR browser based on the last remaining independent engine

Well now I get weepy because I get to tell the story of how you saved my life guess what you saved my life. It was a long hard road and it still is but in 2016 I got to return see Folks at the w3c and work a bit with other browsers before my husband and mother died the same year.

Why couldn't we have it all? Moreover why couldn't we have it all and retain not just a declarative but the empowerment of the declarative to keep things truly semantic to keep our initial web design principles and to keep the idea that applications could evolve.
