All Constraints are Beautiful
summary
Claims that embracing constraints produces better web experiences, backed by concrete anecdotes and experiments: a vegan and gluten-free cake foiled by a peanut allergy leading to a pragmatic solution; Csikszentmihalyi’s art experiment where a squiggle on the canvas improves creativity; Hemingway’s six‑word story and haiku as constraint examples. Cites real contexts (publisher Springer Nature, Nature, Scientific American), WHO stat about disability, and concrete web harms—megabytes of JS breaking low‑end devices. Advocates progressive enhancement, accessibility and performance with practical, actionable examples.
