Imagine you have the power to make a single, impactful change in the world of web development. This change could be anything – introducing a new feature, removing an existing annoyance, or modifying something to work better. The scope is as broad as your imagination. Whether it’s tweaking a language's syntax, revamping tools like Webpack, harmonizing server-side and client-side languages, or even changing how arrays are indexed, your vision can redefine the landscape.

What’s the one change you’d choose to wake up to tomorrow? It could be as simple as adding a new functionality to a programming language, eliminating a cumbersome syntax, or even proposing a novel approach that bridges existing gaps.

Share the change you’d make and explain your reasoning. With such transformative potential at your fingertips, why select this particular alteration? How does it contribute to the evolution of web development?




I really wish fullscreen windows weren't so easy to open. On latest Firefox desktop, I click a button, and a fullscreen windows gets opened. No confirmation dialog, it just puts the browser in kiosk mode without my permission. This could be used to phish people since you could create a plausible looking browser interface with fake address bars etc The savvy among us probably won't fall for it, but the non-savvy could get duped easily.
