136 facts every web dev should know
I found this fun list of things to know: 136 facts every web dev should know before they burn out and turn to landscape painting or nude modelling.
I particularly liked these points:
124. Web dev frameworks are for organisations, not small software teams or individual developers.

Frameworks turn teams in large organisations into service interfaces.
125. Individual teams or individual developers don’t have that problem, so they get less value from a web dev framework. The more opinionated the framework is and the more of the web platform it abstracts away, the more its value proposition skews towards solving organisational problems and the less value it provides to individual teams.
