Jeez, you aren't kidding. It's as though, if we bitch enough about the technical deficiencies, the economic and social circumstances that cause them will, I dunno, vanish into thin air I guess. This topic is pretty much just red meat here
- Kluny 11y agoWell, bitching isn't that great. But as a web developer myself, it has affected the way I work. Like, there was an article just the other day about how to achieve "lightning fast page loads". I shared it around the office and as a result, 4 people have added new steps to their workflow to help reduce page load latency on our client sites. The author knew the article would get good reception here, because of how much people complain about page latency, and I knew that page latency is a thing that's important to more people than just me, for the same reason. (My clients mostly don't seem to care, for some reason, but I bet their customers do). So yeah, having these public conversations can make a difference. We just have to stay positive and constructive.
- sanderjd 11y agoThis is a great point. As much as it can be a bit annoying to see the same conversations over and over again, and as much as we make fun of supposed groupthink, it's all a long slow process of consensus building and idea dissemination. Thanks for reminding me of that; I was previously sitting here thinking, "oh geez, here we go again!".
