I think the internet is broken, and it's broken at it's core (jeferson.me)

I think AI won't save us here, our base is broken. The internet is kind of shattered, most of the pages on the wild have broken and even wrong links. Divs doings the work of buttons, the semantics are totally lost. This, at least for me, feels like a good view point on what we can fix first, and with luck have a better internet.

All feedback is welcome.

This is the issue with using dynamic frameworks. Dynamically generated websites driven by JS by people who design for the GUI first rather than the actual source generated to be rendered. Form over function. Its a lack of focus on the architecture of the web and more on what we feel it shpuld be despite what it doesnt want to be.

The tech bros, or how I like to call the Theos online have a very misguided view, they have a specific interest, and a specific point. Usually to sell something.

From the last almost 15 years in the work I can say that maybe 10% of the products would ever need the JS framework of the day, mostly could be just a static page with some island of interactivity and some over the wire server render.

Things that we learned in 2000s with Ruby on Rails, and yet we reinvented the wheel.

So, it's just sad to see the that current stat is yet broken, the tooling isn't there, and worse, with AI we will have even more on this bad average.
