Good point, but to be fair, author probably doesn't have any control over this, as this is default for all Medium blogs. It's another question why Medium decided it is a good idea to ship almost 80k lines of Javascript code for a page whose only purpose is to display a blog post.
- yunolisten 10y ago> author probably doesn't have any control over this, as this is default for all Medium blogs The author made a statement > Ship less JavaScript They chose to post on medium, they could have posted the content anywhere. They chose to give us the above lesson, while ignoring it. Do as I say, not as I do. > it's another question why Medium decided it is a good idea to ship almost 80k lines of Javascript code for a page whose only purpose is to display a blog post. Who cares? Why not simply stop using such shitty services?
- panorama 10y agoRelax, friend. The majority of people are not freaking out over this. Surely you have better things to do than nitpick about this and call other people's products shitty. I recommend choosing to be more positive instead. Have a nice day.
- yunolisten 10y agoNobody is freaking out about anything in this thread. I'm pointing out legitimate facts, contrary to some of the other comments. Reality isn't nitpicking. And yes, it's a shitty product. And don't worry, I'm multitasking.

- tambourine_man 10y agoAnd yet another question is why would a technically apt person, and one obviously concerned with page optimization, choose to give up control of how their content is served.
- yunolisten 10y agoExactly: > Staff Engineer at Google working with the Chrome team Obviously they have the resources to self host in a sane manner.
- thehardsphere 10y agoJust because the author works at Google doesn't mean that "they" had anything to do with the blog post. It doesn't follow that "they" would allow their resources to be used in that way, and it also doesn't tell us anything about what the more time efficient choice for the author is.
- yunolisten 10y agoYour jump to conclusions mat is showing some terrible signs of wear
- M4v3R 10y agoIt's probably a mixture of potential impact (Medium posts will always be much more popular and easier to find on Google than some static page he could set up) and ease of publishing (just write the article and publish it, versus managing your own blog platform), plus some added bonuses (sharing widgets, analytics, etc.).
- yunolisten 10y agoNope, google already have various technical bogs and corporate pages, which (unsurprisingly) rank well on their search engine.
