Meiert - One of the few arguing for long term plans for websites

Be one of the 1% that care about website maintainability

“For one, long-term thinking on the Web seems quite kaputt. Nobody cares. Website maintainability should be a pillar in any web-related curricula, but if we’re lucky we find one meager guide. Maintenance makes for a billion dollar expense in some companies, and no one is even flinching to pay. There’s an all-pervading disturbing sense of 'YOLO' around that makes everyone hustle and bustle today, and never think about the consequences in terms of long-term effects. That’s fire and forget.”
