      Most people aren’t trying to build bad software. They’re trying to build as best they can within fixed constraints. One constraint is when industry voices attack and belittle them rather than reaching out to help. Who could read this and ever feel safe asking him for help?https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1251668620335214592 …

      There have been multiple teams in my DMs over the past day that I've been helping 🤷‍♂️

      That’s really heartening to hear! I’d love to see you writing about or tweeting about those stories, rather than shaming people. There’s enough awfulness going around right now. Why not choose to champion the good things and set an example people can aspire to?

      There's an asymmetry here: I don't post most of what I see to spare folks embarrassment; it's rare that folks want the before/after comparison public. I make exceptions for public sector work as we're all paying for that...but you should know that brokenness is now pervasive.

      People react with shock and horror when you point it out -- again, it's rare that it gets shown, even in cases where the JS bloat is so bad that it destroys business -- but what I'm showing here is just one crystal example of a pervasive, omnipresent odor of failure.

          Here's a way to get your head around the scale of how bad it is: go to http://webpagetest.org/easy , select "Mobile -- Regular 3G" and plug in 4 or 5 random urls from the "showcase" or "our users" page from a popular "modern front-end" tool.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
