I don't disagree about speed being critical but it's table stakes and I feel there's something we need to offer to ensure there's a clear differential

Itteration is good for us developers, bit it's not clear for a user when they still get their updates for functionality almost daily.

It's *great* for end users. Who wants to be managing "app updates"? We've made billions of users sysadmins and it's a shitty thing to do to anyone.

Think about this a the pitch you'd make to a VC for a new product: "you know that thing you have to do over and over and over that doesn't really help you, but you feel guilty about not doing? What if you didn't have to do that any more?" <punchline>

But that's the thing. My android device updates every night and I don't do a single thing.

Anyway. I'm just saying we can't just say that everything is killing the web because we're slow. We need offer more reasons why the web is better for users (less so developers)

Which device is that? On what network? How much free space do you have? C'mon mate, you *know* you aren't the median or P75 (let alone P90+) user.

And again, sorry you two... but speed is only one axis and is largely for the *current users using the web on their phones of which there are statistically very few*. Our ecosystem is dying, fast or not.

I don't disagree about it dying. I'm just arguing poorly that users don't see or don't care about web, they just want content or tools.

Yes? And they want the best version of those things. The onus is on us to make sure the web is the best; gives you good experiences with the lowest tax rate.

But people don't find these things through the browser. So it doesn't matter implied tax rate is low.

That's on browser (/cc
@__apf__@alexainslie) for failing to make app discovery A Thing (TM) in their product. What we can do from the platform side is to make the world safe for a time when they get there. And we're doing it! Again, nothing in platform is a one-turn game.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes - 4 more replies
