It can be a meme: instead of talking about semantics, UX is trendy and can be used as trendy shit word instead.
UX HTML is more accessible, less error-prone, more maintainable because it uses the right tags and attributes. Yes it is semantic at the end.
So UX of HTML matters.

The web of things is built on the web of documents, which is built on the web of computers controlled by Domain Name owners, which itself is build on a set of interconnected cables. This is an architecture which provides a social backing to the names for things. It allows people to find out the social aspects of the things they are dealing with, such as provenance, trust, persistence, licensing and appropriate use as well as the raw data. It allows people to figure out what has gone wrong when things don't work, by making the responsibility clear.

The value of this architecture is that each layer leverages the social components of the lower layer's architecture

• Universality
• Open Standards
• Open Web Platform (OWP)
• Open Government through Open Data
• Openness with personal data on the Social Net
• Open Platform
• Open Source
• Open Access
• Open Internet and Net Neutrality

Too many websites could generate nice reports as documents, but had no way to access the data behind it to check and build on the results.

Hypertext systems should take about 1/4 second to move from one place to another. If the delay is longer, people may be distracted; if the delay is much longer, people will stop using the system. If the delay is much shorter, people may not realize that the display has changed.

It is funny how thoughts about speed and user experience were already there before the 2000's.

Issue: Links on the web are often quite slow

One solution is to abandon hypertext links. [...] Have a one-page view.

Another strategy is to exchange one large delay for many small ones. We can sometimes arrange a Web site to to bundle large parts of the data in a package that is pre-loaded at the entrance. Within the site, link response is quick because time-consuming sound, graphic, video, and applets have been pre-loaded onto the user's computer.

A better solution, for sophisticated hypertexts that must provide crisp performance, may be to use the Web as a way to provide access to, and information about, hypertexts that can be downloaded (or purchased) as a unit and then performed on the user's machine.

Principles:

1. Know what motivates you
2. Not everybody needs to (or wants to) progress
3. The way up (or sideways. Or backward.): all roles are relative

The levels of experience in a company, range from Engineer I to III, then Senior engineers (and there are a variety of it).

Other potential sideways steps: Developer relations, Sales engineering, or specialist consultancy roles.

Two types of anxiety: the one that fills you with terror and the other one that tends to rush you.

A solution is framing: how to look at the situation.
A framework proposes to frame a presentation or an oral intervention with the following scale:

• Practicing / Perfection
• Enthusiasm / Audience
• Prepared / Flawless
• One of many / The big one
• Sharing Enthusiasm / Giving a presentation

The right side of this scale is what people normally imagine when they hear public speaking. It is however the wrong framing.

The positive frame would move to the left side of the spectrum. It is just practice, being enthusiastic, only preparation is needed, this is one of many public speaking so get ready for the next one too.

The trick is to switch the focus from yourself and the audience to the ideas in the talk.

The reason it doesn’t matter is because the audience is not the point. And you aren’t the point either. It’s the content. It’s the idea.

The 5 major problems of the current Internet.

(In context of web gardening)

1. Many hypertexts do not require elaborate navigational apparatus.
2. Rigid hypertext structure is costly.
3. The shortest path is not always the best.
4. Large hypertexts and Web sites must often contain both parks and gardens.
5. Use punctuation sparingly; unwanted interruptions are tiresome and intrusive.
6. The boundaries of parks should be especially clear, lest readers see them as mere wilderness.
7. Rigid structure makes a large hypertext seem smaller. Complex and intricate structure makes a small hypertext seem larger, inviting deeper and more thoughtful exploration.

Thoughtful designers lead visitors not only to the answer to their question but to better questions as well.

Highways are judged by efficiency: distance, cost, safety, and time. Garden paths play a different role; they lead us through the best routes, not the shortest. They may bend to pace our journey, curving here to reveal a view, twisting there to lead us through a shady grove or a sunny clearing.

Rigid hypertext is streetscape and corporate office: simple, orderly, unsurprising. We may find the scale impressive, we admire the richness of materials, but we soon tire of the repetitive view. We enter to get something we need: once our task is done we are unlikely to linger. We know what to expect, and we rarely receive anything more.

At times, wilderness is exactly what readers want: a rich collection of resources and links. At times, rigid formality suits readers perfectly, providing precisely the information they want, no more and no less. Indeed, individual hypertexts and Web sites may contain sections that tend toward each extreme.

Often, however, designers should strive for the comfort, interest, and habitability of parks and gardens: places that invite visitors to remain, and that are designed to engage and delight them, to invite them to linger, to explore, and to reflect.
