I talked it over with the BDConf folks, and we’ve put aside one pass to Breaking Development Orlando for someone that needs it.

I didn’t have the easiest time when I was just starting out in this gig, and I sure as hell couldn’t afford to go to any conferences. The only way I ended up in a job with an honest-to-God desk is through tons of help from the people I met along the way. So, fair’s fair, yeah? If you’re in a place where you can’t swing the cost of the ticket, let me know what the deal is and we’ll try to figure something out.

BDConf is a great show. Come learn a few things, meet some people, and land yourself a gig. Buy me a beer there; we’ll call it even.

I’m [email protected].

Let’s leave aside, for now, the fact that you’ve changed web standards. You’ve been a participant in the first time—in the history of the web, far as I know—that the web development community has taken a feature from an initial proposal to the funding of an honest-to-God native implementation.

Instead, I want you to focus on this: say only ten developers use a native responsive images solution to reduce the weight of just one page apeice by only 500kb, and each of those pages has a barely-significant 5,000 hits per month: those users have been saved almost 24GB of data. A thousand pages saving 500kb apeice, and we’ve saved users an entire terabyte in a month. Now expand that to the entire industry: every web developer; every hit on every page that would otherwise carry with it a huge, wasteful image request, saving megabytes at a time. To those users, the only change is that the web is faster, less expensive, more accessible. For those users, the web is just better.
