I checked it out a couple of years ago, and thought it was a cool idea that still had some major issues to work out (like its reliance on browser certificates for user identity, and lack of good in-production implementations to use as references).

IIRC, when I looked into it a few weeks ago, it still had the same issues, and I had assumed that the project had been abandoned, until I saw the article.

I like his definition (especially the part about tinkering), but I think that it's incomplete, being merely functional.
I suggest that the term "web developer", by its definition, carriers a philosophical drive: to develop the web. That is to say, a web developer should visualize how they would like the web to be (as a whole), and build their own projects in a way that reflects that vision.
This is something I've tried to do myself, both in my professional and personal projects (albeit with varying degrees of success). To me, being a web developer means that I should use [responsive design principles](https:/
As a web developer, I want to participate in a decentralized web, and would rather use a self-hosted, fully-open [social media platform](http:/
All in all, I think this definition adds an air of legitimacy to the "web developer" title. As I noted in a [comment](https:/
_TL;DR - A #WebDeveloper should "develop the web" by building their projects in accordance with their own vision of how the web should be. For me, that means using open source software to build standards-compliant, accessible, and secure sites and apps.
