What the Web Still Is by Eric Bailey:
Being a pessimist is an easy thing to fall back on, and I’m trying to be better about it. As we close the year out, I thought it would be a good exercise to take stock of the state of the web and count our blessings.

After Charlie Owens talk at Webclerks yesterday about the “good old days” I remembered how we did Ajax before
XMLHttpRequest:In the late 90s or very early 20s I had multiple select boxes and the options in the second
selectdepended on the selection in the firstselect. When the user changed the option in the first select box, we would load an iframe which rendered the second select box and copy it with JavaScript from the iframe to the parent. The JavaScript that did the copying was of course an inline script inside the iframe.That’s what I call a hack.

Instead of writing a checklist you write a simple interactive CLI where each step in a manual process is a function. Automate them then function by function.
