People whose careers began after the advent of the open web probably have no idea what a miracle it is, and imho once it’s gone, it’ll never happen again. The BigCo’s are too entrenched, and have nothing to gain from the freedom and interop it provided. I know, because I was there, and know what a wasteland tech was before the web, and how that changed in an instant when the web caught on. All of a sudden the Bigs couldn’t stop us from creating the things we wanted to create. #
