I am hearing too much crap about WebRTC and it is pissing me off.
I have been in a couple of events lately and read my share of posts about WebRTC.
What has been obvious is how much misinformation there is out there about WebRTC. And I am not talking about those that don't believe in it, but rather by those that are domain experts in WebRTC and try to explain it to others. I am sure I make my share of mistakes as well, and if I do – please comment about it – I am learning this field myself as I go along and the assistance of the smart people that stumble into this blog and have scars to show from WebRTC is important to me.
I thought about the reasons this is happening. The best I can come up with is that as much as WebRTC seems simple and elegant, the technology itself is quite hard to grok – it just requires a lot of disciplines to get properly.
I can't say I have the answers to it all – it is a lot of area to cover. I am not sure it is even possible. Please – stop BSing people about WebRTC – focus on what you do know in that domain and say you don't know when you really don't. People will value your opinion more that way and others will find it hard to say WebRTC is overhyped.
Is it time to change the governance of WebRTC in order to keep it growing and flourishing?
