- markdown 6y agoNO! Letting yourself go just because you have access to bigger clothes isn't healthy.
- cageface 6y agoRevise, not throw out entirely. Optimization always adds complexity. Don't do it more than necessary.
- ryukafalz 6y agoEh, not necessarily. Both the simplest and most optimized pages I can think of are straight HTML with no Javascript. It takes work to add complexity starting from there!
- C19is20 6y agoYES! In that, I fully agree.
- kumarvvr 6y agoWhile speeds are good and connectivity is cheap, the caveat is availability. Not all areas have good coverage. And also, lower page sizes save energy and reduce carbon emissions.
- jamil7 6y agoAs if web developers need a reason to make their websites slower.

- kylehotchkiss 6y agoRemember that devices are less powerful, and that outside the cities the connections still aren't universally that quick. That said, many JAMstack providers are so wired into CDNs nowadays that actually serving the content closer to these users is just a baseline functionality of the webhost.
- cageface 6y agoI’ve been on this site since 2009. Unfortunately the level of discourse has been in pretty steady decline over the last few years. Knee jerk responses and mindless downvoting are the norm here now. For a site that’s ostensibly catering to engineers it’s a sad state of affairs. I can’t say I get much value out of it anymore.
