      This thread is dead-on, but I'll add one more bit of context: when I (not speaking for others) criticize current state, it's because it *sucks for developers too*. Teams get fired/flushed after the inevitable rewrite fails to deliver usable experiences, and web gets written off.https://twitter.com/graynorton/status/1159550093235634177 …

      Alex Russell added,

      I think most of the critics you're talking about do understand why teams are picking React. They just don't believe the results, on average, are good enough, so they're agitating for improvement on measures that the React ecosystem isn't currently prioritizing. https://twitter.com/davidbrunelle/status/1159475955452088320 …

      If we want to continue to be web developers, we literally need to keep the web from drowning under the weight of Modern JS...and that is not what's happening when median mobile site includes ~350KiB of script: https://httparchive.org/reports/state-of-javascript …

          People sometimes suggest I should calm down about web performance because the web feels fine on *their* phone. @DasSurma and I pulled a little data to try to visualise why that might be both true and not particularly relevant: pic.twitter.com/9EfoaEJLgf

          Y'all decided you could send 6x as much script because the high-end could take it...but the next billion users can't. There might have been budget for 2x, but not 6x. Not by a long shot.

          It's not so much a privilege bubble as as privilege thermal envelope.
