Imagine 1993, text browsing of content with the definitive anchor element for hyperlinks....that is the Web at its core to this day...not apps, not frameworks, not JS and definitely not social media 馃槈

You mean, you want to actually write something meaningful? No ads? No "subscribe to my newsletter?" no "javascript must be enabled?", no "cookie consent?" no "log in to view the second paragraph?" or "connect with facebook?"
I can't imagine anyone interested in that /S

馃槆馃槀 sad thing is; I'm only partially kidding. I'm amazed by technological development in this area (possibilities are endless) but at the same time, "old-school me" is saddened by how often the original intent is forgotten (form over function)

It more than saddens me that the noble ideals and declarative, International, accessible, meaningful, useful World Wide Web is, if known at all, seen as history or afterthought as with #a11y. We as a profession have yet to create an educational rubric or a professional standard.

It's heartbreaking and I have stated outright that I consider it a personal failure that I chose to leave the web standards project because of a contract with Microsoft when in retrospect there wasn't really a conflict of interest as that year and a half was public and open.
