So this isn't CS vs. not-CS (apologies to @heydonworks for overgeneralising his points), it's that these people are *bad* at programming the most perf-sensitive computers in the discipline (UI) that is *the most* latency sensitive.

Nobody is succeeding at UI when they produce slow, janky experiences for most users. Best case, they're demonstrating proficiency with prototyping tools. High-time that hiring managers got wise to this. Test the portfolio site on a mid-range device, not your MBP or iPhone.

“Best case, they're demonstrating proficiency with prototyping tools.” Yup. People are releasing prototype code into production:https://adactio.com/journal/14562

Interesting. I wonder. Could we sell "classical" separation of concerns including, gasp, full page reloads.. as prototyping. Just a way to get started until the A Team shows us all how it's done..

I'd take full page reloads (and minus the JS) over much of what I'm seeing. With enough JS bloat, server think time + RTTs and wild variance beats reliably broken-feeling SPA experiences. Current tools put the latter in easy reach of too many teams.

SPA primarily, ironically, to achieve jank-free state transitions. If portals land I probably wouldn't write one again. Think most would not because opting out has way better outcomes. Esp true if transitions are declarative.

I'm not sure portals is enough on its own. Eg, it doesn't seem to enable hooking into navigations caused by the back button.

I'd happily take a jank back button to never again "compile" markup. And hey if v2 fixed back even better.

Fair. I think an in-tag navigation event would tie the whole thing together

Know we discussed before tpac. Will prototype; not super hard.
