The Plumbing of Everyday Magic
Summary
The essay argues that modern web development is plagued by hidden plumbing traps between creation and delivery, leading to fragile systems and disrupted creative flow. It advocates for malleable, surface-level artifacts where the experience and underlying machinery coexist, enabling personal, remixable software built with minimal, native tooling. The piece envisions a future web where creators publish interactive experiences directly and leverage AI to facilitate building these malleable documents.
