I'm excited to welcome James Hall to the first episode of Off Script as we explore a favourite topic of mine, "Wasn't the web better 10 years ago?". James is a good friend who I've known for many years. We've have had plenty of conversations about the state of web technology as we've progressed through our careers and during this episode James gives a good insight into how web technologies have changed over the years. In this episode we discuss:

• Historical traits of the web
• What has changed with the web compared to 10 years ago?
• The evolution of web frameworks
• How JavaScript tooling has has become more complicated
• The problems solved by package managers
