This isn't about engineers. This is about businesses. Up until now there apparently hasn't been a business case for fast websites.
Fast website costs a lot of money in development time. If a website loads fast enough, nobody wants to invest X amount of dollars to make it somewhat faster.
Since AMP sites are prioritized on mobile, there is now a very clear business case for supporting AMP.

And this is a very bad excuse for all sorts of startups that are generally behind these atrocious websites. And as a startup your whole damn company is filled with engineering people. If your management that is filled with engineering people fails to understand the importance of fast websites then the I am afraid the problem is with the engineers. Whether that is incompetence or actively cutting corners can be debatable.

- faceplanted 8y agoFast sites are significantly cheaper to develop, it's just a case of _not_ adding things, but that's an impossible choice to make when the website for a new channel is entirely not what the company is for.
