Your Experience Is Not Mine

Designers love new stuff on web sites that is often the internet equivalent of "a machine that goes ping".



I could put a job position in the web industry to each of the characters in the famous Monty Python Hospital Sketch.

Gone are the days of one person hand-crafting a web site and doing only what is really needed to get the job done.

Now we have Web 2.0 feature bloat in the hands of people on fast networks who don't test on all platforms and network shapes, who have never written small and concise code that runs well and fast on any device, and who use coding automators but don't know how to debug the often huge and ugly generated code.

A word to all you who recognise your own organisation in these words: Your Experience Is Not Mine.

Fix it please. And quick before your customers give up!
