> promise of web 2.0 where "APIs will talk with APIs making everything super fast and automated"

Wait I thought web 2.0 was DHTML / client-side scripting and XmlHttpRequest?

Web 2.0 was sites not having finished loading when you thought they had, buttons having a 1 in 20 chance of doing nothing when you click them, and the advent of "oops, something went wrong" being considered an acceptable error message.

Also things working and behaving differently across 10 browsers
