   @hbuchel The oldschool net neutrality debates were formative for sme folks, I think. That, and the memory of the “olden days” of silo’d dialup services, where pay-per-minute features, charge-by-modem-speed, and incompatible email addresses were just part of the landscape.

     I think there are too many web developers (new and old!) that never heard the call for protecting this whole internet thing and access to it. I think about how my introduction to building for the web was from folks working on and creating web standards and sharing that work in blogs and social media.

     There is a whole slew of developers now whose introduction is from all those folks I was happy to leave behind on Twitter and that's kind of sad.
