## Beliefs
|
||
|
|
1. The web is the universal virtual machine.
|
||
|
|
- It is here, ready to be used from your desktop, laptop, smart phone,
|
||
|
|
tablet, game console, and smart TV.
|
||
|
|
- It is not ideal, but it is the best we have right now,
|
||
|
|
and all signs point to it continuing to improve, at least
|
||
|
|
in terms of features, security, and device support.
|
||
|
|
2. Distributed is superior to centralized.
|
||
|
|
- Distributed services don't need ads.
|
||
|
|
- Distributed services can't be acquired by evil corporations.
|
||
|
|
- Distributed services respect the user's privacy.
|
||
|
|
- Distributed services respect the user.
|
||
|
|
3. Offline-first is superior to online-only.
|
||
|
|
- The internet goes down sometimes. Applications should continue
|
||
|
|
to work.
|
||
|
|
3. Making and sharing code should be easy.
|
||
|
|
- Cloning your repository, installing dev tools, running a
|
||
|
|
docker image, or fighting with dependencies is *not* easy.
|
||
|
|
- If you see a thing in a web browser, you should be able to click
|
||
|
|
`edit`, make a change, save, and see the result.
|
||
|
|
[Wikipedia](https://www.wikipedia.org/) is easy.
