      This is truly disturbing. Your work as a frontend engineer must center the user, not your preferences and comfort zone.https://twitter.com/MrChrisseuh/status/1236723266380869634 …

      Haha we laugh at this but I see more and more media operators that ask react on tv apps development for « maintanability » because their team or lead refuse to work without

      Legitimate justifications for tool choice flow from user benefit: using X allows us to deliver faster sites, or iterate on feedback from users, or work better with designers (etc. etc.) The common theme among these legit arguments? They can be falsified.

      Sometimes it's fully situational ethics, though. If your developer experience and tooling allow you to move 2x faster by punting on, say, ALL MOBILE USERS, this can in fact be the correct choice for your business that desperately needs more features.

      Absolutely! And good managers can make that choice explicit for/to the business. I observe most folks post-hoc rationalising lower reach, tho.

          It takes a lot of effort to have less code, though, and the rules about what's efficient change over time. For example, underpowered Android devices AND 5G totally flip the original desktop wins for SPAs. It's cruel that 300K of JS is more expensive than 3MB of HTML.

          I keep chuckling at "underpowered" re: Androids. They have 4+ cores! And a full GB+ of RAM! And GPUs!!! The reason 3MB of HTML is survivable on them is because the system is well optimised to yeild, do work in chunks, progressively render, and stay interactive...
