I have no control over the network. It could be fast, it could be slow, it could be down entirely. -Tim Kadlec

I have no control over the end device. It could be a phone, a laptop, an e-reader, a watch, a tv. It could be top-of-the line or it could be budget device with low specs. It could be a device released the other day, or a device released 5 years ago.



I have no control over the client running on that device. It could be the latest and greatest of modern browsers. It could be one of those browsers we developers love to hate. It could be a proxy browser. It could be an in-app browser.



I have no control over the visitor or their context. They could be sitting down. They could be taking a train somewhere. They could be multitasking while walking down the street. They could be driving (I know). They could be color-blind.

MOBILE-LAST (DEGRADED, SHOE-HORNED, SHORT-SIGHTED, CRAPPY)

MOBILE-FIRST (PROGRESSIVELY-ENHANCED, FUTURE-FRIENDLY, AWESOME)

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS FUTURE-PROOF

When I am trying to learn a new technology, it's easy to Google and look at a tutorial and read some code. What's hard is to really wrap my head around why I want to use which thing. That's frequently the thing that's not well-explained or well-documented. -Jen Simmons

The ability to fix text, to set it, to distribute that text to others in such a way that it can be reliably accessed by everyone such that everyone gets the exact same text, turns out to be required for a society to rapidly increase its collective understanding of the world. -Mandy Brown

And it’s a requirement because learning is an iterative and cumulative process, where each bit of knowledge is refined and developed and built on to make the next. -Mandy Brown
