I'm increasingly convinced that only browsers can change web developer behaviour -- the current situation is untenable: either we fix this, or the idea of "having a job making websites" will become an anachronism.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/996195317493129216 …

i partially blame frameworks and build tools for this because it makes people expect things to be slow and complicated, but it really does feel like people are okay eating up as much performance headroom as you give them

Some experiences only exist as web apps, but when I have a native app to compare with it's usually a joke. Discord's electron client uses 4x as much memory as a Qt discord client I use, and the latter one has <100ms response times, no random loading screens, launches real fast

That bloat and lag has to come from somewhere and I *know* it's not the browser vendor. Slack taking multiple seconds to change tabs isn't chrome, how does something get messed up that bad? Is it just a thousand cuts? I'm not really sure.
