Progress is a process, and like most man-made processes progress can be sped up and slowed down. As the victims and beneficiaries of progress in the browser space, it pays to understand not just what's holding us back, but what could be helping us move forward faster as well. This talk examines the feedback loops that create and hinder progress, why that process will never be pretty, and why now is perhaps the best time ever to be a web developer.

Fronteers conference is a yearly event, organised by Fronteers, the Dutch non-profit trade organisation for front-end web developers. Its goals include the professionalisation of our trade, (improved) recognition of the front-end discipline, and improving the position of Dutch front-end developers in their company and the web design/development world in general.
