[Danny Kodicek]

I was reading an article the other day talking about how modern
websites are overengineered and full of unnecessary animations and complex
JavaScript packages, and it made me think again how unfair it was back in
the day when Flash (and Shockwave to a lesser extent) got the blame for
people doing exactly the same thing. Surprise, surprise: killing Flash
didn't stop bad design, it just made developers' lives harder.
