WRITE CODE FOR THE WEB

mrmr.io8 min read

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Apple primarily prioritizes its consumers over developers, so some developers are shifting their focus towards writing code for the web. The web is open and therefore cannot be locked down by corporations. Each company has different incentives when it comes to users, which can lead to Google not fixing certain bugs and Apple being strict about the capabilities of developers on its devices. A strategy for dealing with this is reducing your dependence on big company products when they try to put you in a zero-sum game and re-engaging more with them if they're willing to be more symbiotic.
