There is no expectation that every app you use is perfectly optimized, and it's likely that none of them are.

- CydeWeys 10y agoIt also runs against Silicon Valley culture, which is to get to MVP as quickly as possible and release early. There are trade-offs to be made between complete optimization and time-to-market. Leaning entirely in favor of the former is almost never the correct decision, and certainly not in startup land (and Niantic is a startup!).
- loup-vaillant 10y agoNo, but we do expect that it's reasonably optimised. For instance, no one expect a reasonable app to download the same visual assets over and over again (and it looks like Pokemon Go does just that, though I'm not entirely sure I believe it). Besides, even a little optimization can have a very large impact: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=12135849&goto=threads%3Fid%3Dloup-vaillant%2312135849 https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=12135849&goto=threads%...
