In the talk, I go into the consequences of things continuing apace: the web will (continue to) be a legacy, desktop-mostly environment and web developers will be more like Fortan/COBOL programmers than a growing, vibrant discipline.

The web cannot compete with native if websites are unable to run even a fraction of the code native apps can. Browsers (and also websites/frameworks) need to change in order to enabling running more client side, but this needs to be collaborative.

Absolutely agree on collaboration! The way I decompose the problem is to focus on "how much work are we doing per interaction?" You see this here: https://github.com/slightlyoff/never_slow_mode … If you think about this as "what is the price of tapping on a button?", we get closer.

There are some who will try to sell you on fairy tales of Use the Platform because that is all they know. The old model of browsers is built like a pyramid scheme.

Web devs in general don't give a fack about perf. Better focus on business peeps by penalizating SEO rank because of bad perf. It works ;)
-
Business peeps care less about perf than web devs in general, and many of them will literally force devs to do something (like adopting a certain framework) that itself kills perf. Literally not kidding here.

I'm totally behind your point. But I'm wondering how responsible of this you think your company is. Analytics adds over a 100 Kb to every websites that uses it. Embedding a Youtube video takes over 1 Mb. Reading an email in Gmail requires over 10 Mb.
