To shame people who build slow, bloated websites.
Saying that no bloat equates to no content is part of the problem.
- sbarre 10y agoThis kind of attitude is the problem actually.. There is no silver bullet solution to all problems when building webpages, and if you think this guy's advice is catch-all for everyone and that "shaming" people who don't follow those rules is good, then you're a bad developer. Someone else said it elsewhere in this thread, but different contexts need different solutions based on determined use cases and needs.
- notalaser 10y agoThere is no silver bullet, no technology that is good everywhere, but there are things that are bad everywhere, like unnecessary reliance on JavaScript, code and resource bloat and so on. Being diplomatic about it and not assuming everyone who deployed a Joomla installation with a ton of bad plugins because it HAS TO WORK NOW is an idiot is OK. But wrapping bad engineering practices in "different contexts need different solutions based on determined use cases and needs" is a very different story. Obviously, different contexts and use cases need different solutions. That's no excuse to pick the bad ones, nor to pretend they're not really, really bad.
