- mehphp 6y agohaha so true
- tazjin 6y agoYou joke, but I think this is actually true. If companies gave their developers of client-facing software slower computers the resulting software would end up being faster.
- shynrou 6y agoYep because they would not get anything done ;) In my experience as a web dev, all the performance goes out the window as soon as the tracking scripts are added.
- sevencolors 6y agoI had nearly a perfect Lighthouse score until the marketing team added GTM
- lghh 6y agoBut it would take them an order of magnitude longer to ship it. `npm install` even on a fast machine is a slog.
- tazjin 6y ago> `npm install` even on a fast machine is a slog It may not be with fewer and less heavy dependencies!
- pdimitar 6y agoIt's not the end product itself that eats huge amounts of RAM or CPU. It's the dev tooling.
- TheCoelacanth 6y agoI don't think it's the developers who are the problem. In my experience, they're usually the ones advocating to spend time improving performance. PMs and executives are the ones you should give slow machines to if you want more focus on performance.
- rurp 6y agoAgreed, IME it's nearly always the devs arguing to improve performance.
- octorian 6y agoAnd why some of my past upgrades were driven by the web browser over-taxing the machine on certain sites, while nearly everything else was perfectly performant with absolutely no complaints.
