Dismantling the Barriers to Entry

The programmers have to choose to build a Web that is accessible to everyone because of the increasing complexity of the Web platform. Since the advent of node.js and npm, a vocal group of developers has evangelized the idea that code should only be released in the form of tiny modules that do very specific jobs. Speaking of modules, you should ideally make your code consumable in as many different ways as possible. The three most common formats are AMD CommonJS, and browser globals. A well-crafted error message is worth pages of documentation, because it appears exactly when the developer needs it. As far as possible, the programmers should stick to vocabulary people are already familiar with. They must always favor the slightly wordy but universally comprehensible over terse language.
