A constructive voice pushing tech towards sanity... https://noncombatant.org/2019/01/06/state-of-security-2019/
Still, I see people really shipping software improvements that seemed impossible 20 or 10 or 5 years ago. We really are making progress. Here’s what I want to see in 2019: Throwing away the idea of using ‘engagement’ as the sole or primary metric. Socializing policy thinking in the engineering community. It’s time to put on our grown-up clothes. The stuff we do matters (otherwise we wouldn’t do it, right?), and that means we need to think about and deal with the consequences. Affordances to improve web performance across the board: a larger JavaScript standard library; performance improvements in frameworks; improvements in tooling; client-side interventions and budgets. Socializing the value of simplicity, and throwing away complexity, at all levels: UX, languages, libraries, frameworks. In particular, nobody should start a new project in C++. Smart people are already hard at work on all these things! We can get the industry closer to where it needs to be, and serve people better. Tomorrow is Monday...
