Let’s leave aside, for now, the fact that you’ve changed web standards. You’ve been a participant in the first time—in the history of the web, far as I know—that the web development community has taken a feature from an initial proposal to the funding of an honest-to-God native implementation.
Instead, I want you to focus on this: say only ten developers use a native responsive images solution to reduce the weight of just one page apeice by only 500kb, and each of those pages has a barely-significant 5,000 hits per month: those users have been saved almost 24GB of data. A thousand pages saving 500kb apeice, and we’ve saved users an entire terabyte in a month. Now expand that to the entire industry: every web developer; every hit on every page that would otherwise carry with it a huge, wasteful image request, saving megabytes at a time. To those users, the only change is that the web is faster, less expensive, more accessible. For those users, the web is just better.

I have a lot of writing to do today. This week, actually—I’m writing a book, and I gave myself this week to start getting it roughed-out. Not super polished or anything, I figure, just try to get somewhere near the word count before I go back and rewrite things a chapter at a time. Get a foundation down, y’know? I don’t have a ton of time, though, so it’s vital that I really focus on this. ~35,000 words is a lot of ground to cover. So, in the spirit of staying laser-focused on the task at hand: here are my thoughts on the optimum robot master order when attempting to beat Mega Man 2 without losing a life.
Yes, Metal Man is first, obviously. C’mon. C’mon.
But on that drunken evening but a scant few weekends ago, NES controller in hand, I paused here. My first time through Mega Man 2 without dying, I went with the same order I had used as a youth—it just sort of happened. So I got to thinking, albei

We need new voices and different viewpoints, and I figure anyone that wants to make the industry stronger should be helping promote those voices however they can. Then maybe one or two people in a future audience find themselves relating in ways that they wouldn’t relate to another straight-white-cis guy up on stage. Suddenly they’re thinking “hey, I could do that too—I could be up there.” That’s how we change things; that’s how we catalyze a more diverse industry.
Selfishly? I’m sick of seeing a bunch of me on stage. I’ve been me; I already think like me. I can only learn so much from someone with experiences so similar to mine. I want to learn from you. I want to be made to think about things I’d never considered before; to see things in a different way. That makes me better—that makes better developers, better people. That makes tech a more thoughtful, more empathetic place—and Christ, do we need more of that.
