Something's not right with the web. No matter which version of it you believe we're currently on, the situation ain't ideal. We're missing fundamental pieces. https://depatchedmode.mirror.xyz/4t_7BUzz5q3XlPtH7EgtGL61nh9U8plsfH23i7x5_lU 🧵

Not saying progress has halted. So many communities continue to contribute so much! But we often overstate our position on the roadmap. There has not been a Web 1, Web 2, or Web 3. Instead, there has been a Web 0.1, Web 0.2, and Web 0.3. We're still incrementing on Web 0.x

The broken systems we rely on today must do more. They must ensure our experiences are secure: designed thoughtfully enough to provide us with the agency we deserve. From concept, all the way down to code, and back up again: into the interfaces that govern our interactions.

🔴 Easy & Obvious: Most vulnerabilities in a system occur when we find insecure workarounds, so the secure path must be the easiest and most obvious path for us to take.
