What's are some examples of advanced, ambitious, modern apps that would be impossible without modern front end techniques? What are the Gmails of this era? I'm struggling to think of one.

...unless we're defining "modern" as "post 2004"

I mean, they developed these tools to do those in a performant way. Are we talking about "in practice" or "in theory?"

I don't post traces without team consent, but suffice to say, "modern frontend" isn't performant. It's not working.

Have you considered a possible selection bias here? Ie, the teams who ask you to trace their apps are the ones suffering horrendous perf? I imagine for every one of them, there's plenty of others doing alright, shipping decent, profitable software, not asking you to trace them.

I've seen pretty compelling metrics that chart the growth of the average bundle size against the growth of mobile network bandwidth worldwide and it was not encouraging :( However, i think the problem is a bit bigger than "people are using too much JS."

It's actually that simple. Think of JS like CO2: lots of ways to emit less, but the key challenge is -- simply stated -- too much JS and *far* too much on the main thread.

Best: not creating JS / CO2 At least: if you do, have working carbon capture to stop it reaching .... That is lazy loading / keeping it off the main thread.
