This idea must die – ideas that exist that are so absurd so seemingly unlikely that you can’t believe it even exists at all?

Ideas That Need to Die

The web is a continuum. Brad Frost

Sidebars must die. Jen Simmons

Stop demonizing those with whom we disagree. Jeffrey Zeldman

The current favicon system must die

Browser pre-fixes

Good design can’t also be performant Sarah Dranser

Modal signup boxes implying you’re an idiot if you don’t

Stop treating users like idiots

Pop-up ads must die. Again.

Make a website that looks different.
