Me: Everyone's web site is way slower than it should be. Web: That's because they have to scale! Me: But it seems like things still go down under load. Web: ... Me: Amazon runs AWS, and _their_ site didn't even stay up! Web: Oooh look! Someone released a new JavaScript framework!

To make matters worse, a lot of times these JS libs _aren't even hash named_, so they have caching effectively turned off, which makes them load everytime. And of course, don't get me started on the craptons of advertising tracking crap that each take ~20ms. It's horrible.

I wasn't really joking with my original post. Web developers hand wave at a lot of actually hard problems ("it's network latency! it's data coherency! it's scalability") but if you actually profile the sites, none of those things are actually the problem.
