SAME question by Paul @boagworld in this audio podcast, 2016. We talk about dealing with unexpected events in career, ALL the laughs, advice, #a11y, BBSs, and past n' present #webdevelopment - Oh what we got right and wrong about the Web to come. Enjoy! boagworld.com/season/14/epis…
That’s the question to answer.
If the yesterday’s tools for building websites were shown off today:
Would newer developers say, “that’s much easier” or “wow, you had it much harder”

Without a doubt no question when you get into 10 nested tables and 40 TrS within that tables and 36 TfS and it yeah 2,000 spacer gifs it was pretty ridiculous and completely inaccessible in the sense that it was absolutely meaningless which is the opposite goal right?

I saw 8he API portions of 99gh i via the what workin my in the spec that maybe curious as to where it would go but I did mn HTML5 is a whole new subject should never have a4n attached to declarative markup.y feel very offended that the two could not have been involved
If you thought any of that had meaning to me at this point I would say you would be wrong conceptual dogmatism about accessibility and the Samantha preconsciousness of what this isn't philosophy dude you're in the wrong building
0ui for all the above or just one of the posts I'm confused I can barely see right now and have four devices all of which do not talk to each other due to to step verification and no resolution from the carrier. I try to stay positive
And you can't see and you can't touch a device consistently or use your voice and make sense of anything and you can't pay enough for the technology that's cool and works there's one thing I can do sit around on the phone and talk to people no thanks never liked it never will

Bert always did awesome work and was a strong promoter of the keeping things clean and is declarative meaningful syntactically and likely semantic but most of what's happening now outside of specific use is just too much and the Cascade is hated who needs it when you have in line

Linguist and language with lexical semantic background and interest in writing and meaning of everything requires understanding all have types, domain specifics before meaning makes meaning. Font is meaningful it's just presentational semantics which is a domain of semantics. SMH
Language linguistics including their subsets are all domain specific the only time semantics makes sense is in the declarative XML world of domain specificity otherwise it's nonsense it's never been defined for web except occasionally HTML5 and erroneously at that.

It's on YouTube it's necessary for anyone in my opinion to watch that who's working on the web or the internet for a lot of reasons

There's a video of him doing a virtual talk using a virtual device and a member of the audience comes up to thank him and it was Tim berners Lee it's a great little moment. Ever watch the documentary on Aaron check it The Internet's Own Boy heartbreaking but must see

Goes right to Snowden and what he revealed in 2013 our government is nasty to its own people and always has been not a good feeling especially when in a position where you have a choice to do right by yourself or by the people

It does feel dirty doesn't it and it feels dirtier to know what companies get away with in terms of what we let them take from us in terms of our own privacy and security.

Just out of curiosity what were you doing in 2009 that makes you think anything I said had to do with what you wrote honest question no disrespect meant just truly curious as it's not how I would describe that conversation in the least. Thanks!
