      The devastating results in this post highlight how much of good performance (like good a11y) is cultural: does praise come from doing a great job about that? Do folks within a culture gain status and reward for doing it well? https://timkadlec.com/remembers/2020-04-21-the-cost-of-javascript-frameworks/ …

      When “the platform” is a thirty year-old kruftbucket and someone who’s paying you insists that you have to support users stuck in a decade that starts with a “0” can you really have no sympathy for the 180K devil?

      I've been on every side of this equation. My sympathy extends as far as the lack of alternatives.

          Does the React-based Facebook site have a terrible trace as well? Sometimes it’s a straight up engineering resource/experience issue, and “working for desktop users now” is more valuable than “working for Android users ever”

          Let's stipulate all small list of ways this site is unique before tracing: 1.) this team has afforded to build a separate site for each of desktop, mobile, and low-end mobile 2.) it has a staffed up perf team... 3.) ...with deep metrics infra & discipline... (ctd.)

          ...for developers in a scenario where they didn't set (or don't control) the choices, my empathy and sympathy are absolute.
