Comment on Ask HN: Why don't websites have 'text only' backup versions?parent

The sad bit about this attitude is that some of us consider web design/development to be a craft, rather than purely an exercise in profit-maximisation. We should be creating the very best work that we can, not just aiming for what's good enough, then stopping. That's just an opinion; I realise it's unpopular with some.

It is not unpopular. It is unrealistic.

Overengineering is the biggest problem with the craft today. True craftsmanship is about giving the customer something appropriate to their needs, not making a magnum opus every time.
