Code Responsibly, Explained
Post from July 30, 2014 (↻ September 4, 2017), filed under Web Development.

It was time to explain why these things matter. Which prompted me to venture out and look for ten (or nine) industry experts to share their views about what it is that makes learning, accessibility, performance, semantics, validation, maintainability, collaboration, documentation, quality, and teaching so important.
The results are in, and I think the arguments and ideas are fantastic—please see for yourself, on the all new Code Responsibly!
