Totally cool to see this tip of HN! For most things, it's the way it should be. Less really IS more I deeply miss websites that -reliably- loaded faster than you could blink. The megatons of cruft that comes with even the simplest page, the dozens of remote code callouts that show up in NoScript (and the mere fact that it's been for years prudent to run NoScript...), the slogging wait for pageloads.... It'd just a vast disappointment. And these awful load times and performance are on CAD-level laptops. I left the industry 15+ years ago seeing the writing on the wall and hoping I was wrong - writing code had become like walking in quicksand - unable totrust the stacks of garbage underneath to behave as documented, and abstractions becoming increasingly purposeless. I'd hoped it'd get better, but as far as I can tell, it was a good move, when something like this is merely quaint. The hardware industry has produced astonishing improvements every decade, and the software industry just continues to squander those improvements at an even faster rate, producing an ever-degrading experience. Really sad.
