summary
Lists concrete wins and concrete failures: CSS gains like Flexbox and Grid and ES6 arrow functions remove old hacks; fetch and picture land in 95% browser support so responsive images and simpler XHRs actually work; AVIF shows only 25% acceptance so fallback planning matters; audits find 98% of sites fail WCAG; a celebrity landing loads 800kb of JavaScript to show blackness. Mentions Node, devtools, and that push notifications and cookie banners often harm users.
