Google AMP lowered our page speed, and there’s no choice but to use it – unlike kinds unlikekinds.com/article/google-a…

“There’s open disdain for CSS and HTML which make websites possible… …This attitude has lead to a sole preference for JavaScript, which has created a brittle, slow, and inaccessible web that is failing to serve the public the way it should.”

It’s wild to me that

– There were 3.57 billion visits to government websites over the last 90 days
– We know that because it’s public thanks to analytics.usa.gov
– We also have hard data about OS, browser + version, and format data about how Americans are using the web t.co/glBov7Z3P5

Does “crashing landing” still count? twitter.com/BreakingNews/status/…

Who wore it better?

They arrested Santa Claus

There’s something slightly different about @alistapart today. You probably won’t notice, cos my colleagues are so awesome at their jobs. So here’s a hint. t.co/Xm1bvP7cXB

Instead of Google forcing AMP on people, someone should make guidelines for writing fast webpages and a way to statically verify if pages follow them. Then G can add an icon in search results to mark fast pages.

You could call that standard Accelerated Mobile Pages or something.

“I firmly believe that, as Tim Berners-Lee put it, “this is for everyone.” And I don’t just mean it’s for everyone to use—I believe it’s for everyone to make as well.”

The web has always had a high technical barrier to entry but it is also resilient and backwards compatible

You can still write some markup and serve it up from a webserver just like @timberners_lee did 30 years ago. What has changed is our expectations of the modern web and that has required more and more technical complications to push the web forward.

I mean look at what we can do on the web today:
– run a spreadsheet application
– watch TV
– aggregate thousands of 280 character messages from around the world in real time

These are highly complicated things that we have dreamed up for the web to do

“The people who make the web vs. the people who are excluded from making the web.”
