      Been thinking about the performance concerns around React apps. I acknowledge there are a lot of poor-performing React apps out there. But wonder: Are the challenges technical or organizational?https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1015279791371476992 …

      The question with these reliably terrible JS heavy rewrites is always "do the investors know?" Perhaps I should train boards and VCs to look for this sort of failure? https://twitter.com/kaihendry/status/1015084843460222977 …

      For projects that resulted in apps w/ performance issues, was performance prioritized? Were there stated goals around performance? Was developer experience prioritized above user experience? Regardless of tools, performance doesn't happen by accident.

      The same goes for accessibility: React doesn't make it harder than any competing tools to implement accessible experiences. But accessibility only ends up being done well when it's a priority and teams building apps are accountable for hitting specific goals.

      If we had a time machine and replaced React in some of these projects with Vue, or Preact, or whatever... would the results be much different? Is React the reason some apps are slow? Or are teams deprioritizing performance and just happen to use React because it's popular?

      It'd be fascinating to get in to some organizations and be a part of post mortems to figure out where things went wrong: before the first line of code was written? Or after the teams decided to build their apps around React?

      We're still pretty happy with our decision to use React. Could we use less JavaScript? Sure. Does the app meet our business and user's needs? I think so. Is our PWA fast? Faster than what it replaced. So I'm still unconvinced that React is entirely to blame here. 🤷‍♂️

      What automation do you have in place to prevent regressions and measure median and 95th% user experience? Or is "faster" annecdotal and historical?

          Still working on automation that will fail builds if there are performance regressions. But "faster" in this case is based off of data collected and analyzed with @newrelic. To be fair: we had a low bar to measure improvement against.

          So "no" and "low bar". Better than most, but can we agree that teams that pick up these sharp implements must do so with care and support that's largely missing?
