The past few days I've posted a lot about my passionate antipathy with the no code approach, the belief that HTML and CSS are not important to learn in favor of JavaScript, HTML5 /APIs, and my ongoing pain that we disregard accessibility. Some understand why but most do not.

One of the reasons that people do not understand my position is because they think I'm a web 10 developer and it doesn't make sense to me. Inaccurate. I'm not a developer designer or programmer. I come from a background of language, linguistics, semantics, meaning, Behavior.

When I started in Information Technology that's when the computation part became very important to me as did retaking mathematics from simple to Advanced and studying computational linguistics and now computational Neuroscience. I have long and deep experience in our field.

I want to passionately Proclaim that I feel the no code and you don't have to learn languages or have an education in a wide variety of influential topics as well as an understanding of internet and web protocols and languages as well as the history of our field is very harmful.

My influences when it comes to mentors and great thinkers in our industry remain an unexpected delight in my life. But it did not include the computer scientist, and Stanford professor emeritus Donald Knuth who met Tim Berners-Lee and others once at a pre w3c conference. Crazy!

Professor Knuth has some wonderful and easy to understand I'm going to post a compelling short video relevance to conversations this week in the next post. He has interviews with my personal favorite podcaster @lexfridman and others as well. I'm very interested in your responses.

This video from Dr. Donald Knuth "HTML IS a Programming Language" is provocative, witty, arguable and even he shows where and why! to have discovered his work now is an utter joy for me. I hope it will be for you as well. 😊 youtube.com/4A2mWqLUpzw#100Days… #HTML #webdevelopers #NoCode
