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 current web development workflow paints us into this corner though. I’m old enough to remember when one of the *benefits* of web development was that you didn’t need to use a compiler. People had “F5 is my compiler” tshirts.

But then and now, people need to use other people’s code, and the workflows and tools we have to enable those ecosystems dictate the kinds of technology and tradeoffs we can make. Currently, bundling is the only option, and that really paints us into a corner.

I totally agree with all your tweets. I completely share the same opinion but (there is always a but). You can't sell performance in every market. You, as Google can invest X just to get 0.1s or get something of the main thread. Will the outsource company have that options?

You can't fight that. I think its not only the developers to blame. It goes deeper, the root is not there. The way new people are tought is also to blame, scaffolding includes a framework. Moreover they are not aware of the downsides, only that it can do fancy stuff won't need.

Just a bit more. Sorry. Performance is a sensitive topic for me. Yesterday I wanted to make a small app to list some stuff. So I decided lets do it the old way: gulp, scss, html, js... I felt so happy, got to the code in 20min. How long would it take will all modern tools?

2 minutes maybe?
