Of course, we know this 114M wasn't there in the first place. W3C has tried very hard to standardize the web, without guarantee it would be simple. So, what we have now is a collaborative system where it's easier to introduce a standard than to deprecate one (remember Adobe Flash?). It's reassuring to know there isn't a central megacorp monopolizing the web, but this openness comes at a cost. It's when evangelical developers who can't program proper desktop apps abruptly choose to make a new web framework, a parasite on web browsers - one of the only things that are largely cross-platform. Because the work of portability has been handled by Mozilla, Google, etc, not by themselves, there is virtually no limitation regarding what you can do with it. If a handful of people suddenly like your "standard", all modern browsers will get to support it eventually. [Gemini](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) is a young protocol that's slightly heavier than Gopher, but radically more lightweight than the Web. Its [spec](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/spec-spec.txt) is 4.4k words long as of time of writing, which, excluding the appendix, is a 20-minute read if you skim past the microscopic details.

While beginners tend to wet their hands in a web environment they're fami Many people believed the GitHub-like UI is the way all FOSS is developed. They are wrong. A web UI is not the only nor the original way to use git; you could use [git-send-email](https://git-send-email.io) to submit patches in mailing lists, and as maintainers you can merge them using git's stock utilities. Some people have never heard of the latter because they were never told about it; meanwhile, the web UI has hijacked their mindset. [Sourcehut](https://sourcehut.org/) is an example of email-driven development with a minimalistic web frontend. In such development scheme you will find your workflow more efficient, especially if you are used to a terminal. The obvious pain in the neck is a good mailbox as your identity and a local client that doesn't suck. I hope you're experienced enough to figure those out. Then it's the low public exposure of a mailing list. Perhaps maintain a mirror on a UI-driven site as a portfolio. The reason why I had never heard of such a thing before is no one told me the exact thing I needed to know. Also GitHub formed the stereotype of a git forge. There are certainly other young people suffering, unaware of email-driven development being an option.
