In the case of SOLID, I'd probably cut the guy who started the web some more slack than a cursory glance at the work and determine if I can't immediately understand it - there can't be any understanding or value in it.

Some things that take years to design and put together, might take a while for all of us to catch up to.

I hope examples continue to come out, but more importantly, those who develop can spend some time to hack with it. Maybe some brains are seeing this that are primarily wired to work and understand through a lens of front end, or back-end development, where but Tim Berner-Lees like lots of other devs here is used to end-to-end.

It seemed pretty simple to me, and pretty simple to follow along with. If we're looking for something shiny, the web wasn't shiny on day 1.

Every single user story on that website uses concepts that make absolutely no sense to me. And I’m a power user.

If you can’t make it understandable to me. I just don’t believe that you’ll ever get anyone to use it.

I don't disagree that it could be easier to understand.

My point is presentation doesn't wipe out the initial or potential long term relevance of the tech, only accessibility and approachability to create beginners. Bitcoin comes to mind.

Maybe some experienced power users helping tell some more stories.
