"Sure, the web used to be a fun place for tinkerers. But the cat's out of the bag and we cannot put it back inside.
"Going luddite is never a good solution."
Making the web more fun for tinkerers is "going luddite"?
I first used the web in 1993. I do not remember it being more "fun". Seems like there is far more "tinkering" going on today, namely by "web developers" who try to keep themselves entertained while pledging loyalty to surveillance and advertising.
Reducing the amount of tinkering with respect to the "web development" would actually improve the web, at least for this user. Less "fixing" and "replacing" of things that work well enough.
