The overall decision-making around how the web works is insane and getting more insane by the year. We have fairly trivial and absolutely universal problems unsolved for decades, while browsers get crammed full of features that aren't used by 99.9% of websites.

Worse, some problems are finally solved in such a half-assed way that it's almost worse than having no solution at all. (Input type="date", meter element, dialog element etc.)

This is not at all what I imagined the field would look like when I entered it nearly two decades ago.
