Hopefully, I’ll be retired by then…
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
And hopefully this will be my last discussion on the subject. You’ve seen it enough times (if you haven’t, I envy you). HTML5: 2022 (aka 2012). This created yet another pointless rift that I was temporarily part of last year where some people don’t want to touch it until 2022 and others are using it now. You know, I really hate the web. Why is this even a divisive issue I don’t know, but it is, it created an inane Twitter war between me and some agency where we both drank our respective Kool-Aid (I refused to support something that by the time it’s even in Candidate Recommendation will be outdated by some other new shiny object and they/he started using it immediately, or so they claimed.) and I did the adult thing, apologized, and tried to make amends. Didn’t happen, but that isn’t anything new. Of all the things I’ve read about HTML5, my favorite is this comment: “Hopefully, I’ll be retired by then.” Me, too.
