> Unpopular opinion This is HackerNews. Hating bloated websites is a time-honoured tradition here. > Most web developers don't have a grasp of computer science or assembly, and act like computing resources are free It's worth separating these two. Plenty of web developers have computer science degrees, but if they're paid to quickly churn out bloated websites, that's what they'll do. > Nuance, knowledge, and metrics are what's needed. If the aim is to improve the performance of software/websites, what's needed is a userbase that's less forgiving of bloat.
