If you had a chance to rebuild the internet, what would you change?
izak30: I would change almost nothing on the web side of things.  Having no ads would seriously change the business of the internet today. Who would foot the bill for everything that we use now? End-users?HTML is a leveler for a lot of people, and it helps designers and developers actually work together, instead of being limited (VS.NET), it also allows for quick (albeit not always concurrent) innovation, and competition. TCP/IP Is so well generalized that you can do anything with it.  Redundancy is not well executed, but it doesn't have to be if the pipes get bigger.Doing things like calling new developers "incompetent morons" stifles innovation.  I certainly would have quit a long time ago, if when I started there was no room for mistakes.HTML and Javascript were the 'gateway language' for me for all sorts of things.
