That frontend web development is usually executed extremely poorly. The HN crowd is different, however, your average agency is still using processes that pre-date the iPhone, hiring average 'designers' that create pretty pictures with placeholder copy, average frontend developers that have little interest in accessibility and evolving web standards and project management that keeps backend developers in the dark, all tasks sliced and diced because it is 'agile'.

Biggest discovery is thanks to 'Lighthouse' - it seems most average websites think it is okay to bundle a megabyte of scripts with a page and ten to twenty thousand lines of CSS, 97% of which is not used.
