Without trying to be too Black Friday about things, (but, let's face it, failing), today's the ideal day to buy someone a cycle cartoon gift from my shop. There's free UK postage and 10% off with code TAKE10 davewalkershop.com

I wanted to write about this for a long time, but @adactio.com did it first and definitely better. Web frameworks should be invisible to the user, they serve us developers. Users don't care, and shouldn't pay the price neither.

Web browsers provide you with great features for free. Why would you choose to use tools that stop you taking advantage of that?

JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress)
We replaced simple websites with complex apps nobody asked for. Now it takes a complex build pipeline just to change a headline.
