Thats kind of the problem right? Take a distribution of your potential user base connection speeds. Modern web app / SPA engineering seems to be to draw a line somewhere on that distribution and FU to the rest.
- flukus 9y agoI think the line is drawn at how quickly you can transfer from localhost. It seems like devs tend to ignore network latency entirely because it's something outside of our control. It seems to be getting worse too, things like the windows start menu can freeze when you're on a intermittent connection, SPA's can break entirely. I've spent a good chunk of my career fixing n+1 problems over a network, even when it's on a fast connection to a local database the latency becomes noticeable are fairly small values of n.
