It's possible the dev failed. It's possible authors, educators and advocates such as myself failed as well. And others. I think we are mostly failing all aspects of Web these days, for many reasons, some fixable, others not so much. Education for Web is itself lacking standards.

I had people pushing back to making things easier to learn as they would “oversimplify” things. And I was: “Yeah, that is the point. You want to make things simple first, so people have successes and continue to learn.” We need more educators in tech.
