“How the Web will Be Won” by Daniel L:

1. Time vs. Money. Though the people who are trying to ruin the web have a lot of money. We have more time than they’ll ever have.

2. Stamina vs. Money. After a few years of struggle people who are only in things for the money tend to give up if they meet strong and persistent resistance. Thus, we must never stop harassing these people for longer than a short time (like 10 hours).

3. Simplicity vs. Money. Money bastards will not simplify the world because common knowledge is not desirable from a business perspective. Thus, we must make it simpler, while they will continue to complicate things.

30 Always necessary?

You don’t always have to do your separation at the client level if it’s more work than it’s worth. A shining example is the Ruby on Rails framework which produces seemingly nasty inline JS hooks. It’s okay, though, because the code RoR generates for your is irrelevant in a management aspect, just as long as it works.

I respectfully disagree. It makes life easier for the developer at the expense of the user. Ruby on Rails (in its current incarnation) will use inline event handlers tied to pointless internal links (href=”#”). This means that user-agents that aren’t JavaScript capable get nothing, nada, zip. Far from being a shining example, this is the one glaring problem with RoR. It may be irrelevant, as you say, in a management aspect but it sucks for the person trying to use your application.

Fortunately, the Ruby on Rails community is vibrant and responsible enough to plug this hole .
