it’s okay to make an ordinary web site

@zachleat I wonder if a lot of pointless arguments come from the fact we still just use the word “website” for everything, rather than having more nuanced classifications.

Like if the construction industry didn’t have categories for residential, commercial, industrial, etc there’d be a lot more arguments about the *best* way to construct a “building”.

@armstrong I *could* see that but I’m wary after we botched the sites versus apps stratification so poorly

@zachleat @armstrong Just all makes me think how early we are in a whole new era.

@timbrown @zachleat yep the day is young on this stuff.

I do think we still have a lot to learn from more traditional, established industries like construction. I suspect that coordinating electricians, carpenters and bricklayers probably brings up similar challenges to balancing Rust, JavaScript & CSS developers.
