what if everything is awesome? codemotion madrid 2014
DESCRIPTION
As developers, we always have to battle people and media overselling what we do. Just because we use things other people don't understand doesn't mean we use magic. Yet if you look at any "near future" video of cool technology everything is incredibly smooth. We, on the other hand, seem to be far too excited about things breaking and trying to find solutions for any problem - no matter how unlikely it is to happen. In this keynote Chris Heilmann wants to remind us about what we have, what we can do and just how amazing our work really is. And what we can do to keep it like that.TRANSCRIPT

THINGS TO DO FOR YOU
LET’S AIM TO BUILD SOLID FOUNDATIONS OF SMALL BITS OF WORKING CODE.
Hating JavaScript is like hating the Internet. The Internet is a cobweb of different technologies cobbled together with duct tape, string and chewing gum. It's not elegantly designed in any way, because it's more of a growing organism than it is a machine constructed with intent.

TODAY’S TECH ISN’T GOING AWAY…
If you build a web app today, it will run in browsers 10 years from now. Good luck trying the same with your favorite mobile OS (excluding Firefox OS).

IT IS BUILT TO LAST!
If you enable people world-wide to get a good experience and solve a problem they have, I like it. The technology you use is not the important part. How much you lock them in is. Don’t lock people in.
