Every time I read an article like this, I agree with it, and a lot of developers seem to be the same.
Two things are stopping me from actually doing this. Firstly, and most importantly, my boss isn't reading articles explaining why accessibility and quick load times will make him more money. Secondly, I've been present for some absolute disasters that happened because of the combination of AJAX, jquery/vanilla js, server-side MVC, and scope creep, and I don't know which frameworks or development patterns I can use to stop that happening on a project that I have more control over while still keeping that project lightweight.
Articles that give clear and actionable suggestions, or are targeted at the people who make high-level decisions about what features go into a product and how many third-party scripts should be installed, would be more useful than articles about how developers are very naughty for adding 10+ ad trackers and UX tools.
- n_ary 8y agoAgreed. No dev in their right mind would intentionally attach these bloaty 20x more script spawny advert/trackers or put an irritating popup, most of these are signs that at some point in time, there was a bad decision and dev had a gun at their head to make that decision material.
