The Fucking Web
This nice blog post on medium.com takes more than 100 HTTP requests to load. It takes 5.65 MiB storage and 40 MiB memory, only to serve you 900 words of plaintext. For good measure, 5.65 MiB is almost twice 1 of the War and Peace.
Yeah, they cry so hard “we are not living in the 90s, it takes less than a second to load the page”. I mean, there are so many amazing things people do in the frontend, but the example shown here is NOT one of them.
Seriously, when I write a tech blog, my biggest pleasure is that the readers could take a few things away. I don’t want to hear
OMG! ππ₯ This blog just blew my mind! π€―π₯ Seriously, I’m shook! π±π»Innovation at its finest! ππ‘ Can’t wait to see what’s next! ππΌπ«#foss #linux π€©π 2
And the medium platform (and many others) feel exactly like this.
