The images are part of the content here. The article attacks pointless obesity -- not large web pages period. Indeed, here is the first paragraph:
> Let me start by saying that beautiful websites come in all sizes and page weights. I love big websites packed with images. I love high-resolution video. I love sprawling Javascript experiments or well-designed web apps.
Also, the article never mentions the word "semantic" or the best practices around markup.
There is no hypocrisy here.
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoWell then the sprit of the whole thing is just worthless. Why focus just on page weight? Why not also whether or not I should see tons of thumbnails I don't care about (which is pointless obesity), or attention to using the technology correctly in the first place? Taking a single concept by itself out of all of web development and advocating for it is such a pointless game. All the images are meme-tier garbage. It's such a distraction. It is hypocrisy.
