How can we change our thinking to build the future web we need? Let's move forward quickly through the past 25 years or so of the web, of digital design. In chasing innovation™ we often overlook important infrastructure work, and devalue work — like web accessibility, truly user-centered design, care work, documentation, customer support and even care for ourselves and our teams — that doesn't drive the bottom line. And in creating urgency where it doesn't need to exist, focusing on new things rather than repair, the end result is that we're building a house of cards.
