Don't ever stop playing

I recently attended WebDevConf 2012 in Bristol. The event had a number of excellent speakers but one talk in particular resonated with me; Syd Lawrence spoke passionately about the need for developers to keep playing in their work, urging those in attendance to "just get out there and make cool stuff".

It reminded me why I, and many others in the industry, choose to develop on the web; how creative a medium it is when we truly appreciate its freedom. After all, without the web it's unimaginable that a video of a cat playing the piano could be watched by over 27 million people (out of choice!).
