2-7 are sort of understandable for a quick, hacky startup just trying to ship something fast, with minimal experience. But 1 is the really crazy one. Load times spiking to 30 seconds once they start getting significant traffic, and instead of doing a solid investigation, including instrumenting their FE and-or server so they can see where the slowness is (maybe Firebase even includes decent observability by default?), they go all in on upgrading Angular for seemingly no reason? That’s just ... completely illogical.
- zebraflask 8y agoThat raised an eyebrow for me, too. I recently moved a project from Angular 1 to 6, so this is fresh in my mind. There aren't enough changes between 4 to 6 (or even 1 to 6) to cause mysterious 30 second lag times by themselves. And upgrading the front end's base framework under a time crunch is almost always a bad decision, regardless of which framework you're using. In the companies I've worked for, these guys would be written up and likely put on a performance improvement plan, if not flatly fired.
