A Modern Web Landscape — Matt Biilmann, Frances Berriman, and Wilson Miner
summary
Discussion argues for componentized sites with published pattern libraries, recommends JSON Web Tokens for managing API secrets instead of exposing env vars, and urges pushing runtime logic to edge-distributed CDNs to avoid single-origin bottlenecks. Notes real wins: PWAs replacing native apps and fewer browser bugs, but also real costs — recurring SSL renewal failures, tooling complexity, and slow public-sector adoption that prefers vendors with SLAs. Encourages convergence: batteries‑included platforms that scale from prototype to enterprise.
