Actually, it’s a story in itself that a problem noted by an older article is still relevant enough to be discussed. In the 6 months since, has the industry even looked at this or is it even worse?
A fast-moving industry needs equally-fast solutions. If 6 months can pass and people are still talking about a problem as if it was yesterday, then not enough has happened. Some ideas of more that could be done: talk to your web-developer friends; have them talk to their managers; start publicly shaming bloated web sites; submit issues and/or pull requests to web browser projects with ideas for how to fix HTML; or something.

- jakobegger 10y agoThe web isn't near as fast moving as you imply it is. Website have always been to big. We've been using huge Javascript libraries for the last ten years to add minor functionality. Even using Flash for websites was a common standard! The problem is that speed and usability are almost always considered less important than flashy animations and other bullshit that no end user actually wants. I think this post will be relevant for years to come. I don't think web developers will ever learn.
