A funny wake-up after lunch on day 1 of @mediaAjax, Stuart Langridge firmly tongue-in-cheek described ample ways to keep the web from becoming useful and in the hands of we, the web geeky-elite ;-), including sucking bandwidth by ignoring Yahoo's YSlow plugin style recommendations, discouraging the use of well-designed libraries & reinventing the cross-browser wheel, permitting cross-site request forgery by building web app's accepting requests like http://site/delete.php?id=54 (great for web spiders! Make sure you have a page listing all things to delete and links to each document's delete link!!) It was a genuine laugh with a serious side: The web is approaching some level of maturity so don't let a Microsoft-style FUD "fire and water" attack put us on the back foot.
