> stop enabling "web developers" to do the things that make them slow

It's been said countless times; but Slack, Discord, Youtube, Google Meets, Figma, Google Maps, Google Docs, Github, Excalidraw, Penpot, Diagrams.net etc. etc. are all web sites. They are a different class of websites than Hacker News or Project Gutenberg, being more apps than documents, but they are an important class, too; and they were all made possible because web developers were enabled, through various browser apis, to build them; and I am grateful for that. Wishing that web developers were not enabled to build complex things on the web is inconceivable to me. It's the culture and the education around web development that should change; not the enablement of web developers.

Is “web application” not a common term anymore? Haven’t we always made the distinction between web apps and web sites?
