Until it isn't [0]. I think it's fine to only develop/care for faster hardware but I'm not a fan of broad statement like this when it doesn't apply for so many people.

- jedberg 7y agoThere is a difference between catering to fast runtime internet vs fast install internet. I agree with you that we should optimize apps to be quick on slow internet, especially with so many mobile only users. But making an app that is large is a one time hit that isn't so bad, even on slow internet.
