Webmasters, Full Stack Developers and Other Legends
summary
The talk traces concrete failures and inventions that shape today’s web: the original stack of HTTP HTML URIs as a simple, composable protocol set; Netscape shipping WYSIWYG authoring, blink and JavaScript and then losing market share when Microsoft bundles Internet Explorer for free; a failed Netscape rewrite that kills the product while its open source code becomes Firefox; the npm left-pad dependency pull that breaks countless builds; and the lesson that removing features or avoiding needless libraries often yields better, safer systems.
