Spending the last 6 weeks in East Africa has completely changed my perspective on web performance. And it's not just performance, it's reliability. Every request a page can't work without is another chance to fail. React/Flux and the node ecosystem are more verbose than I'd like, but they might be onto something by rendering the initial content server-side.
