The biggest mistake web devs ever made was focusing on corporate-owned APIs instead of on new and innovative open protocols.

I don't care how all-encompassing Big Social become -- or whether Google or Apple can keep their market valuations ongoing.

Those "critical" APIs can be yoinked at any moment.

However, SMTP and HTTP have now been used for decades. So why not build on the next generation of open protocols?

@atomicpoet Totally! I've been teaching my friends to go back to email for comms since it's the only messaging system that isn't designed to screw people over (and is built into every device).. and lots of other reasons here: bookofadamz.com/the-smartest-m
