I used to run out of high-speed data on my cell phone plan towards the end of each billing period. Many websites/apps don't work at all at such low data speeds.

I used to run out of high-speed data on my cell phone plan towards the end of each billing period. Many websites/apps don't work at all at such low data speeds. Google Maps is basically unusable at low data speeds. Of course this trade off between performance for users vs ease of development has been with software for decades... see Andy and Bill's Law.

- kevingrahl 5y agoYour personal website is beautiful! The recipes section inspired me and now I need to add something similar to mine. And props for not tracking.
- nicbou 5y agoThanks! I was mostly talking about All About Berlin. My personal website gets a lot less love these days.
