I'd offer my own definitions, but:

1.) I'm horrible at language. Others will do a better, punchier job.
2.) nobody really wants to hear from "an old" telling the kids these days about how much better HTML used to be (it wasn't)
3.) any nascent movement for quality will need someone more thoughtful and engaged

Hey @nomadtechie, any thoughts?

A lot is going around right now about how we can achieve a better web, and I'm here for all of it.

What the optimists are not doing is enunciating how we got to the Bad Place. In addition to calls for thoughtful folks to rededicate themselves to fundamentals, I think we need a lexicon to describe, identify, and eliminate the shysterism of the JS-industrial-complex decade.

We're lacking in language for what failed, which makes me fear that what works will be co-opted all over again.

If it's part of your build process or shipped bundle, no part of those dependencies are ever "unowned"; they're only temporarily disavowed.

IOW, all the code that can hand you a bad day is *yours*, no matter the up-front price.

Finally got myself a ‘new’ phone today, it’s an absolute banger.

No, it’s not an iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s a Samsung A51 for #webperf testing and it scores less than half an iPhone 7 on Geekbench 😬 you can feel the input lag even during device setup!

Hat tip to @slightlyoff for the recommendation. Worth reading: https://infrequently.org/2024/01/performance-inequality-gap-2024/

One of the fun parts of being a #Linux mirror operator is that you get to deal with China Mobile using ISO download mirrors to fix their traffic ratios with other ISPs at peering points.

Looks like they've moved to using Slackware now...

Last night was the much anticipated Oxide and Friends bookclub! @bcantrill and I were joined by Greg Cost to discuss Philip Ball's terrific book How Life Works: A User’s Guide to the New Biology.
