“Web making has lately become something of a dick measuring competition.” Our addiction to complicated toolchains and overbuilt frameworks is out of control. Read “The Cult of the Complex” by Jeffrey @Zeldman (that’s me!) in today’s @alistapart. https://t.co/rQYpVBJpKA The internet company as an old, ruined, brick-and-mortar storefront. An art project by Andrei Lacatusu. Hat tip: @PaulMMCooper. c/o @Behance. https://t.co/KlyUI46Gdi The case for HTML. By @chockenberry. (Read from bottom to top. But you know that.)
