Truth.

Consulting on websites/companies in court for accessibility woes has shown me this time and time again. People with a decade or more "experience" who seem to have their skillset firmly stuck in mid 1990's browser-wars era practices.

It feels like a lot of people try to treat programming as something you "learn once and are set for life" the opposite of reality. It is and remains an ever-changing field where you have to keep learning to keep up... and a LOT of people seem to scream "wah wah, but eye dunz wunna"

See mind-numbing idiocy like bootcrap or failwind, and the bald faced LIES about how great they are people swallow like it were ambrosia. The nectar of the gods, not that abomination of jello and marshmallows.

All these clown-shoes and outright fraudsters going out of their way to recreate everything WRONG with HTML 3.2 using classes. Or by sharting JavaScript into the markup like the "HTML First" and "HTMLX" wankers.

The sheer ignorance of it is flabbergasting.
