Fight back against Google AMP (2018)
Am I the only one who read this piece as a screed against having web standards at all?  "The web is a messy, complicated place.... The end result is an enormously diverse and anarchic free-for-all where almost no two websites use the same code." 
 In any other article I would expect the next paragraph to start with "That's why we're introducing Fribble, a framework for structuring your data so that blah the blah...."  But, somehow, the author makes out that well-structured data and appropriate use of semantic tags is a ploy by this one evil company to secretly profit from your work.<p>I'm sure there are well-reasoned arguments against AMP, ways it could be improved or competing ideas for how to encourage fast page loads, expose content in a machine-friendly format, etc etc, but I haven't heard any of them in this article.  It boils down to "We don't want your rules, maaaaannn" and it frankly isn't worthy of HN's attention.
