@mia the personal indie web is still very much there! I suspect it never went away, we collectively just got used to social media feeds and forgot how to surf. There are some large communities, the socialising and social learning is happening too.
Do you mean though, that the learning for these is so far removed from the industrial/professional web practises, that building for yourself doesn't get people up to starter job level any more?

@sarajw oh I phrased that very carefully. :) I know people studying HTML/CSS purely as an art form, fucking rad! That was intended as The Point of my post, against arguments that the web is toooo complicated for it now. I think instead, we've lost discoverability. I'm not sure the same pipeline into & through it still exists? Or I expect it's much harder to fall into – less opportunities for play built into the walled gardens. Less chance to 'customize myspace' etc?
