The JS community is in pretty deep denial today. CPUs won't get faster soon enough to keep the current levels of JS emissions from totally suffocating the mobile web, at which point we'll be the next generation of Cobol programmers -- essential, but not the future. https://twitter.com/malchata/status/1179811899959066625 …

The cumulative effects of JS dependence, as with climate change, are showing up now. And the folks who are least well off are hit hardest. Your JS payload is a _regressive tax_ on content.

No one believes “the web is a non-entity for people coming online” until it’s visible relative to their own product. (Same happened/ing w/ mobile for those whose profit is still mostly desktop-dependent). Wish I knew how to shift it…(the climate change analogy is quite apt)

Sometimes not much room left for your site’s js when you’re using IMA3, gpt, firebase sdk, gtm, fb sdk, embedded tweet or insta, a cmp. Does the 347KiB include these common dependencies? Would be interesting to see what’s causing the most pollution - react is 35kb

I don't really see usage of web falling on mobile as a problem. Native apps are going to be a more ideal experience for different things. That said, we do need to do a better job at delivering content on the web efficiently.
