Problem is the scale. Script kiddies and junior programmers are 0.1x to 0.6x or people reinventing the wheel by not using a framework, they could be far less and let's not talk about security. Experienced (senior) devs should be counted as 1x. Beside knowing to programming fast, they (should) know how programm more correctly.

They also can use and improve it and give these improvements back to the source.

Tried to write it down and help to enhance the documentation, or written an own documentation? So that reoccurring questions could be reduced.

I have my own responsive, displayagnostic, offlinecapable cv and think everyone should have his own, because it is a platform for showing off your skills.

IMHO Wrong:

1. Mobile App. The site has to work by itself. Else go PWA

2. DNT. Respect Users decisions. Allow cookieless and JSless.

3. See 2.

4. See 2. + I would't disable adblock in the net, because it the main entry for malware.

5. Block Foreign. Expand as you understand the laws.

6. Max Layout. Called Mobile First, and seams to be national behavior. International pages sometimes look foreign to me. Use your screenspace wisely, yes.

7. Use Notifications. OK, but, see 8 and 9.

8. Prompt User. Don't annoy users. If they are on the net, they know how it regulary works, don't get of the standard behavior patterns.

9. Allow Opt-out. Opt-In is the way to go, else maybe violates GDPR and other laws.

10. Use Javascript. Not all websites require Javascript, most yes, but not all. Don't rely on it, especially impaired users will hat you for 'visually correct' but not screenreader enabled. Use standards.

PS: Don't be an apple hipster. Was biased from the beginning, got confirmed. But, read it.

Everyone is in the net.

- malicious activity such as hacking and harassment

- problematic system design such as business models that reward clickbait

- unintended consequences, such as aggressive or polarised discussions

These are problems of human evolvement. Education, education, education and not screaming at each other and discussing with the opposition till consensus.

AMD calls their CPU with integrated Graphics APU (Accelerated Processing Units), why not thinking that forth, oh OpenAL (Audio Library) is already in use, WebAL would confuse more. We are running out of acronyms.

Throwing in some random word creations: * Processing#, * UnifiedProcessing#, * ParallelProcessing#, * Accel#,

Prefixes *: Web/Open/Lib/Imperial/Federal/Continuum

#Suffixes: Library/Hole/Sink/Chain/[not Unit (it's for Hardware)]

WebGPU. That's an awful name. Given WebGL is taken and already in version 2. But WebGPU sounds like a virtual GPU for GameStreaming. Even GLWeb would be nicer.
