Good writeup from @jakelazaroff on web components and site-longevity. Here's two excerpts.

"If we want that sort of longevity, we need to avoid dependencies that we don’t control and stick to standards that we know won’t break."

"There’s a cost to using dependencies. New versions are released, APIs change, and it takes time and effort to make sure your own code remains compatible with them. And the cost accumulates over time."

@jakelazaroff I'm still mourning the loss of HTML Imports.

@thomasreggi it is so weird to me that after like 30 years, the only form of HTML transclusion we have is iframes!

@jakelazaroff @thomasreggi

No #HTMLImports for us, I guess... 🥺
