Another issue has to do with the people who find themselves as part of great world changes who are driven by selflessness more than ego, think deeply and struggle to understand why it is more frequently the selfish, malicious, short-term thinkers who become forceful in the world.

Sort of maybe? It seems logical to me that a software application I interact with that is the same size as my hand with complex interactions is a different animal than typing on a full keyboard writing linked documents with minimal interactions Beyond clicking a navigation link.

"The Web is fundamentally not aligned with the way mobile phones have been made to work." - Alex Russell, 2016
We cannot efficiently address the form factor differences and network issues with only one programming paradigm. Or too many. I'll leave you to enjoy his take on that!
By 2016, the data was so dire that I was pulling the fire alarm:

Sobering in retrospect and word for word minus new tech specs, resoundingly true now 7 years later. You nailed many truths, but hit home harm with the split to mobile/form factors we could not have foreseen. To evolve technology does not require fitness so much as adaptation.
A terrible year for so many reasons and so many people. Moving to the couch for full screen immersion in your presentation, I'm sure I'll have thoughts :)
Interesting, Alex. Do you remember a conversation we had a long time ago when you were writing Frame for Chrome? All about interoperability and specs. You seemed passionate about widening application approaches. Has anything specifically brought you to a different point of view?

I don't believe there is any such thing everything has code including human beings. As a person interested in semantics the no code concept really drives my brain a little crazy! Also I'm old school I remember the web in 1993!

I am distressed how easily we switched programming paradigms midstream at the expense of accessibility, inclusion, digital divide, internationalization, meaningful content. We will learn and learn again that one size, one code, one methodology, one idea simply will never fit all.

Finally back on track with book got stuck on markup and CSS as core to accessibility and how we since 2009 are failing to evolve markup since HTML5. I am not anti API. I'm not against scripting. (1)

Frustrating that barely anybody saw it including myself who is about to correct that now thank you Eric as always!

In 1999 #WCAG was published as a #W3C recommendation. We have not scaled inclusion despite fierce advocacy for accessibility? The message remains unheard, unwanted or misunderstood by too many. What has worked? What is failing? We #a11y advocates need success strategies now.

How did that happen? I'm so sorry 😔 it's happened to me in my past as well and it was devastating. Have you been able to figure anything out at all?

Poll Time! I am learning #Webdevelopment #Webdesign and related topics on my own, using online classes, in school or via #100DaysOfCode or similar primarily as :
Fake news what? It's the end of the world as we know it. Screw the black holes it's the World Wide Web we have to worry about.
