The Agentic Web and Original Sin (stratechery.com)
I have come to believe that advertising is the original sin of the web. The fallen state of our Internet is a direct, if unintentional, consequence of choosing advertising as the default model to support online content and services.

Write a Template Compiler for Erlang (2009) (evanmiller.org)
Erlang is an advanced distributed software platform, one that is great for network and multi-core computing, I believe it is almost ready for the "prime time" in web programming, but there is at least one big issue holding the Erlang platform back: the Erlang language is a poor fit for many problems that web programmers face.

New Privacy Principles for a more trustworthy web (w3.org)
Protecting user privacy is fundamental to creating a web that works for everyone. Last week, W3C published its Statement on Privacy Principles, in support of furthering this goal. This document defines some foundational privacy concepts and provides a set of privacy principles to guide web development. We hope this guide will enhance the community’s understanding of privacy, illustrate ways of realizing it in practice, and inspire a vision of the trustworthy web that we can create and sustain together.
