Their backend rarely responds in more than 0.4 seconds. > If FE devs focus on web standards and less on Rube Goldberg machines they would be well served. Why do you think we have these Rube Goldberg machines? Precisely because standards are utter garbage. And doing anything with them leads to more Rube Goldberg machines.
