The web is not dying

I’ve been seeing more tweets lately—particularly from Google Chrome developer Alex Russell—that the web is dying.
I disagree.
The web is a mess. Modern “best practices” are creating a slow, obnoxious experience for users. There a few big, influential companies who have a vested interest in subverting the web or creating a walled garden.
But that’s to say nothing of the platform itself.
The web platform, this beautiful thing that we build sites and apps on, is alive and thriving.
