One of the more important curves for predicting the future. Another is the Wh/$ curve for batteries.
Exponential curves are incredibly hard for most people to internalize.
This is the PV experience curve. My team and I have been maintaining this version since 2007. I reckon I'm a bit of an expert on it.
The thing about the law of the experience curve, it's really more like a set of guidelines.
ALT BloombergNEF's construction of the photovoltaic module experience curve from 1976 to 2021, on a log-log scale. Shows the price coming down from nearly $100/Watt in 1976 (in 2021 dollars) to 27.1 cents in 2021. The inflation index used is the US PPI Processed Goods for Intermediate Demand, mainly because it has a nice long history.

During that long chain of insignificance you'll hear about the thing, but part of your brain will look around and observe (correctly!) "cool idea, but this has had basically no impact on the world"
Think home computers in the 70s or covid in Feb 2020

lit-html just passed 1M npm downloads a week 🥳
The template library that grew into Lit is now used to build Chrome OS and DevTools, Photoshop, Reddit, The Internet Archive and much more...
It's a fun ride with a great team and community! Looking forward to 2M/w next year!

This was an interesting experiment. The streaming version of declarative shadow DOM is ~7% faster than the non-streaming version. With some tricks, we minimized the HTML parser changes, and now we have a rough consensus to go with the this approach. 🚀

Thank you @ReactFinland for allowing us to have a whole block of talks on #WebComponents 💙
It was an awesome week of workshopping and talking with developers about modern web tech.
