“Once you learn how to do something on the web, you never have to learn it again. That’s the contract we have with the web; it’s backward compatible.”

The browser engines' dedication to backward compatibility is remarkable, but also a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, you can expect anything you create on top of web standards to be well-supported for a long time.

On the other – if you've invested a lot of time in a legacy framework or a tooling-heavy workflow, what incentive do you have to learn a newer, faster, leaner alternative?

OMG! This is so true! The Rule of Least Power is incredibly important, especially in web development. It's amazing how much can now be done with just HTML and CSS, reducing the need for heavy JavaScript. Time to unlearn those old habits and embrace the simplicity of it all! #webdevelopment #HTML #CSS #PowerUp 🚀🔥
