Over the last 9 months we’ve deleted close to 80% of the marketing footprint off ibm.com. Tens of thousands of pages. The result is that traffic, conversion and all our experience and NPS metrics are up. It was a gross project but I’ll tell you about it.
Just build a normal website.

This methodology involves decoupling the design tokens and elements from their implementation, allowing them to be applied across various platforms and technologies. This platform-agnostic nature of headless design systems makes them highly scalable and suitable for organizations that have a presence across multiple digital mediums beyond just the product.
So, essentially a reframing of what we called the Spotify Model in 2019, based on the "Reimagining Design Systems at Spotify" talk.

- What are developers thinking? – Nicole Sullivan stubbornella.org
When I transitioned from Angular.js to React, I left a lot of Angular.js behind me. All of the time I had invested at getting really good at Angular.js felt like a huge waste. I don’t want that to ever happen to me again. So I prefer to focus on a framework that can not only give me what I want from the user experience perspective, but can also give me skills that I can use wherever I develop for the web.

The W3C spec is mostly stable, and there’s a working prototype in Chrome now. We just need a little interest from the community to entice other browsers to build their implementations and kick this over the finish line.

It’s time to get me up to speed with modern CSS. There’s so much new in CSS that I know too little about. To change that I’ve started #100DaysOfMoreOrLessModernCSS. Why more or less modern CSS? Because some topics will be about cutting-edge features, while other stuff has been around for quite a while already, but I just have little to no experience with it.

Not only are new services being built to a self-defeatingly low UX and performance standard, existing experiences are pervasively re-developed on unspeakably slow, JS-taxed stacks. At a business level, this is a disaster, raising the question: "why are new teams buying into stacks that have failed so often before?"

It's not! Probably. It's micro-composable, which is super powerful but also makes it leaky like a sieve. Properly constructed, well-considered centralised components with nice API bounds are composable on a chunkier, more restrictive level but also safer and with a better chance of higher production values across experiences.

It wasn’t until my early twenties that it clicked for me: the web doesn’t have to be like this! You don’t have to participate in the con! You can make websites that are joyous and funny and charming, websites that don’t contribute to the meat grinder. You don’t have to steal anyone’s email address or exploit and coerce folks into giving you money. The world wide web could be—if we imagined it correctly—more than money.
Also how it _was_ (mostly).
