The Web's Third Decade
summary
The web hits roughly its 21st year and faces a repeat of past mistakes as Opera and Mozilla start vendor prefix aliasing to paper over broken sites; the talk argues this stems from poor tooling and documentation and shows concrete fixes: using Sass + Compass to emit all required prefixes automatically, turning ~40 lines of hand‑rolled CSS into 40 lines vs one include and reducing cross‑browser failures, and calls for better docs and direct author involvement in standards work.
