He&amp;#x27;s been at the cutting edge of web-standards and implementations for at least 12 years if my memory serves me correctly.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;And you&amp;#x27;ll get exactly what you want. &amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;&lt;p&gt;If he wants to avoid the web being badly negatively effected by short term views of current browser companies and standards bodies then he won&amp;#x27;t get what he wants by sticking his head in the sand and ignoring the direction he sees things going.&lt;p&gt;If this were the writing of a small time web-dev (like myself) then I think your comment would work; but I&amp;#x27;m assuming PPK is coming from a position of experience that&amp;#x27;s given him an almost unique overview of the direction of browser and standards development vs. the historic &amp;quot;feel&amp;quot; and integrity of the web.&lt;p&gt;PPK is doing the equivalent of saying &amp;quot;let&amp;#x27;s stop and ask for directions [on our car journey]&amp;quot; and you&amp;#x27;re saying &amp;quot;no, let&amp;#x27;s just keep driving I&amp;#x27;m sure we&amp;#x27;ll get to where we want to go&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#x27;s up against it as, to my mind, cautious development doesn&amp;#x27;t serve the needs of corporations and so won&amp;#x27;t happen.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;We’re pushing the web forward to emulate native more and more, but we can’t out-native native.&amp;quot; (OP) &amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;&lt;p&gt;I find it funny that web pages are trying to be native apps and many mobile apps are shipping when they&amp;#x27;re ostensibly just web pages.&lt;p&gt;tl;dr I think the OP has more to say, and that it&amp;#x27;s more important, than you&amp;#x27;re giving credit for.</text><parent_chain><item><author>rgbrenner</author><text>&lt;i&gt;We need a break.

Or even the few million people building websites and web apps.  Or even the few thousand people building web browsers.  Attempting to have that conversation just means open-ended delay.  There will never be a clear consensus on where we want to push the web forward to.  And that&amp;#x27;s OK.</text><parent_chain><item><author>rgbrenner</author><text>&lt;i&gt;We need a break.
