if SPAs are bad, compiled JS are evil. They only seem to hijack the scrollbar or give cookie consent or waste 2/3 of viewport with a fucking subscribe/login cover.
Every page should promise some kind of plain text content length vs full page resource bytes ratio. Why would anyone emit 20MB of .min.js only to deliver 140 characters of tweet?
- kbsspl 5y agothank you for saying that.
- Raidion 5y agoI get the feeling, but it's worth noting that it's not just 140 characters of tweet. It's also delivering all the analytics, the content surrounding the tweet (replies, likes, etc), and is a teaser to the rest of the app. The business driver isn't just delivering the content, it's increasing engagement, and the SPA application provides a significantly better and scalable way to make that happen. Everyone seems to think they could do better, and we end up with yet another "modern" JS framework.
