What Makes the Web Epic
Let's wake up
Your brain needs this ðŸ§
What we're doing here
Story Time
and many more...
These apps were bad
But I love them anyway
- No permission necessary
- Could still run today
- World wide distribution
If I had to pick one thing that was crucial to the design of the web, it would be universality.

- 1st web developer
- developer of the web
The web is open
No central authority
The web doesn't break
"Don't break the web"
The web is everywhere
In URLs and in... everything
The web is capable
You can do so much with the web
The web is you
A melting pot of ideas
And I'm freaking grateful
The web has problems
But you can help fix them
You are epic web devs
Thank you!
What Makes the Web Epic
By Kent C. Dodds
What Makes the Web Epic
The web is a special platform. It's different from anything else you can build on as a result of its openness and freedom from a central authority. It's about collaboration and cooperation. As a result, there's a degree of freedom we have on the web despite its weaknesses. In this talk, I want to explain why you should double-down your investment in web technologies in your own career and company offerings. If you do, we can keep the web epic for many years to come.
