I'm about halfway through the read so far, but wanted to vome back and say that these were/are some of most interesting challenges to overcome and constraints to work within, when I was coming up as a web person. Inspired by agencies like Clear Left, I'd seek out old af devices with comically bad browsers, tiny screens, and obtuse input methods. Unfortunately I never really found a financially rewarding enough path to continue pursuing that; the constraint on most projects that don't have these super tight requirements baked in, is money, time, and looking good, which meant that I could either accept that as a survival mechanism and throw JS at CSS problems, or I could lose my job. Although it's neat that over the years of my incredibly shaky career, I've moved from web designer/developer to f̵a̵k̵e̵ software engineer, I've never found UI programming to be quite as rewarding as making an incredibly fast and responsive and pretty and robust website.
