Or, as Derek put it: In the web front-end stack — HTML, CSS, JS, and ARIA — if you can solve a problem with a simpler solution lower in the stack, you

should.

INSECURE …AGAIN

Back in March, I wrote about a dilemma I was facing . I could make the certificates on The Session more secure. But if I did that, people using older Android and iOS devices could no longer access the

site:

> As a site owner, I can either make security my top priority, which > means you’ll no longer be able to access my site. Or I can provide > you access, which makes my site less secure for everyone. In the end, I decided in favour of access. But now this issue has risen from the dead. And this time, it doesn’t matter what I think. Let’s Encrypt are changing the way their certificates work

and once again,

it’s people with older devices who are going to suffer: > Most notably, this includes versions of Android prior to 7.1.1. That > means those older versions of Android will no longer trust > certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt. This makes me sad. It’s another instance of people being forced to buy new devices . Last time ‘round, my dilemma was choosing between security and access. This time, access isn’t an option. It’s a choice between security and the environment (assuming that people are even in a position to get new devices—not an assumption I’m willing to make). But this time it’s out of my hands. Let’s Encrypt certificates will stop working on older devices and a whole lotta websites are suddenly going to be inaccessible. I could look at using a different certificate authority, one I’d have to pay for. It feels a bit galling to have to go back to the scammy world of paying for security—something that Let’s Encrypt has taught us should quite rightly be free. But accessing a website should also be free. It shouldn’t come with the price tag of getting

a new device.

Goodhart’s Law

applied to Google’s core web vitals: > If developers start to focus solely on Core Web Vitals because it is > important for SEO, then some folks will undoubtedly try to game the

Personally, my beef with core web vitals is that they introduce even more uneccessary initialisms (see, for example, Harry’s recent post

where he uses

CWV metrics like LCP, FID, and CLS—alongside TTFB and SI—to look at PLPs, PDPs, and SRPs. I mean, WTF?).
