Today marks 10 years since [Ethan Marcotte](https://ethanmarcotte.com/) published his article for [A List Apart](https://alistapart.com/) on [responsive web design](https://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design/). It’s become the standard for how we build websites that scale across devices and something that helped me transition from Flash to HTML in 2010.

I had the good fortune to meet Ethan at a conference in 2018 and his workshop and he couldn’t be a nicer guy, super smart but humble in what I believe changed how web sites were built. It’s incredible to me that it’s been a decade already. Thanks again Ethan.
