@draNgNon @halva As someone who’s worked on front end stuff and is sympathetic to the underlying sentiment but the argument is directed at the wrong people

Shit is slow because there’s not budget to make it not slow

@mattly @halva

now we get into the release engineer part of the opinion. everyone seems to think that releasing apps & adding junk to them & unnecessary features & wrapping an entire damned browser in every last one is the bomb diggity but y'know what there is nobody on this planet wants their phone updating every other day with a binary that eats the entirety of the low bandwidth connection they share with their family

it's the same idea: devs have amazing fast connections & hardware

I do too
but not everyone else does

and yeah, who is going to maintain a lab with old, slow stuff?

but that doesn't mean it's not a problem

@draNgNon @halva Some of the most egregious sites I have to use regularly have server response times in the multi-second range. Is it the server? Db? Proxy? Who the eff knows? The problem is that the people making the sausage aren’t eating it
