I miss the days when a form was just a form, and as a user I could decide its font size, I could zoom in on it, and I could scroll it as I wished.

I am blessed to work for a company where web standards, accessibility, and page load speed are considered more important than the whims of my millennial boss, or the marketing department.

That's not to say I don't have my share of "I want this to look like a web site that I would want to visit" and "Can you do this cool thing like TMZ?" moments. I remind them that we don't make web sites for them or me, but for our visitors.

If that doesn't work, I pull out the memos showing that the legal department is on my side, and somehow groks the whole web bloat problem.

Can't wait to finally deploy the new site and replace the old JS/SPA + library + framework + polyfill + jquery + ... + ... + ... site the last guy built.

Good website are harder, but it's people (with a lack of empathy for the actual users / visitors) that make it even harder; sometimes even impossible (i.e., project fails).
