I've noticed, throughout my time in tech that while I love some of the newest technology, I love standards, or at least the initial drive for us to have those--because they absolutely matter.
The Apple Store, the Google Play store--so many of those apps rely on standards like HTTP/TCP and standards like HTML and Javascript.
I understand the need for different types of technologies--like a Windows Forms app, but as an example, if you needed a form to collect data and that form needs to be available on web sites, intranets, and could be ingested by another UI/program--why would you use something else other than HTML?
HTML is what has allowed us to interact and create this amazing world we code in (at least parts of it)--free to everyone to create, guided by a standards body who is at least thinking about the community and world as a whole (versus a private company who may not care as much about that type of interoperability and other users outside of their ecosystem).
Let's keep leaning into that.
