I really don’t get Reddit. The same tweet I shared here and on LinkedIn got taken down there for “self promotion”. OK fine Reddit, I’m going to take that as a warning that I should keep my distance.

It's become a lot of noise and not much signal anyway. Not what was really envisioned but what is these days anyway? At least in Tech!

Yeah you're right Molly … maddens me a bit I must be honest. I figured in this case it was because if there’s a link, you’re going to get users leaving for your site, which they don’t want.

The link however is the web the anchor with an href is the whole point of hypertext.

Isn’t it funny how even that has become taboo in some cases now?! Crazy stuff. It’s the best invention since the Internet though ha ha, it’s not going anywhere.

The band was something like if you don't get permission from the site you can't link to them which is utterly stupid it's completely the antithesis of the entire purpose! But funny as hell. Can you imagine no links that would mean no web! We write software these days not websites

Well that wouldn’t work … so ironic! Yes it’s true, the web has become a runtime environment instead of a way to share documents … both for better and in some ways worse I think.

I think we really got stuck on this play it everywhere idea which made sense in a document world but not in Mobile and Native apps I think we're using the wrong languages for the wrong reasons and not learning the core languages we should be learning relying on IDE and apis.
