Why this matters

Don't lose sight
of the edges.

There's a risk of losing our curiosity about the layer underneath. Abstractions are useful. Frameworks are useful. AI is useful. I use these things too. But there's a risk when all of our interaction with the web platform happens through somebody else's abstraction. We stop noticing where the edges are, which is bad because that's where our next users are. That's where the next generation of the platform comes from. User constantly bump into these edges unknowingly. We need to be there when they do. We need to follow where users are. We need to witness those moments.

Don't lose sightof the edges.
