Kodsnack 143 - The web standards bug

Fredrik talks to Aaron Gustafson about web standards. His origin story, how he got into web standards. How the standards work and who should get involved. The problems with prefixes and how we use them.

This episode was recorded during the developer conference Øredev 2015, where Aaron gave two talks.

Titles

You’re the web standards guy
Who falls into web standards and how does it happen?
Between midnight and 5 a.m.
Things were starting to stabilize a bit on the web
The only way to build a solid foundation
The web standards bug
Before coming to the web
In the trenches every day making web pages
Help make other specs better
Vendor prefixes have bitten us in the ass
We don’t experience the web the way everyone else does
I can’t believe I want them to make their ads more accessible
