John O’Nolan:
One web developer points out that another (more famous) web developer is talking shit. A day of destroyed producitivity for hundreds of people ensues as everyone takes sides. Again. As always, it is far easier to criticise something than to build something. As always, those who’ve built something take the criticism personally. Nobody wins.
…and…
What I’m really realigning, is my activity in the web design community. Technology has so many exciting applications to industries which are drastically lacking behind. There are far too many talented people squandering their time arguing over whether or not an
<a>tag should always be inside a<p>tag, rather than using their powers to instigate positive change in both the web… and the world.
Agreed.
