Gods I miss the dream of the semantic web. I can’t seem to convey why it’s ideals are important to the younger generation. They seemingly just want to build proprietary apps to make money. I wanted to build data sources to help the world.

The death of semantic CSS still stings. I simply cannot stand the current state of just appending classes that don’t describe the data to style. It’s barely an improvement over using style attributes. The HTML should ideally have zero consideration for how it will look on the page and just describe the data within; admittedly that became something of CSSs failing though I believe a lot of that can be resolved with preprocessors to allow easier reuse.
