Kyle Simpson - Breaking the Broken Web

Overview
The web is fundamentally broken in two deeply profound ways and unfortunately the only way we’re going to move forward is to painfully break from our past and present realities. First, we’ve got to break from the idealistic but untenable notion of unbounded backwards compatibility. Then we’re going to need to break from the notion of building sites/apps that assume fast and unmetered bandwidth, unlimited battery power, and users which want their devices completely maxed out in experience. Let’s stop building a broken Web and break it forward.

I love the mobile browser slider, I would use that all the time. Butt saved.

Hell... just about anybody living in the Western World is privileged.
Privileged for living under a system that provides more wealth and freedom to more individuals than has ever been seen in any civilization before or since.

the privilege stuff at the start irritated me but overall a great talk and i think it still very much hold true today.

I just want to learn about code, why am I bombarded with all this politic SJW crap? I don't care about the speakers sexuality, what the hell does that have to do with anything related to this topic? Instantly turned this off after that.

Just skip to 4:51 if you want to skip the dumb political crap that has no place here...
