I was involved in web development in the early days. (The 1990s!) It was fun, exciting, it was good. What ruined it was people who did not love the web getting involved. People who didn’t use the web like they loved it, people who didn’t understand it, people who cared more about money than the web.
The web got wrecked because we let too many assholes get involved & call the shots but it’s not too late. We can still take back the web for us. We can continue to build out the web we…
