It means that it's not slow. Case in point: Jira.
- _nalply 2y agoIt means that user feels the user interface is quite responsive. It's not a very useful metric. A user having a flaky internet connection with high latency and low bandwidth and intermittent disconnections would complain that the platforms he uses are "slow". Or a service is just bogged down by too many users but would be quite responsive if not overloaded. EDIT: I was not writing about JIRA specifically. I agree that JIRA is ALWAYS slow. Ten years ago I had to wait five seconds after a button click. However I also had to handle a complain that something was slow just because that customer's internet was shit. EDIT 2: I remember ten years ago an especially perverse variation. A friend of mine was complaining about the bad quality of video even after having upgraded his internet connection. The problem was asymmetric bandwidth. His friend had bad upstream and my friend just saw jerky movements and ugly artifacts and it was unusable for communication in a Signed Language. I learnt that day: if something is slow, then it is not always easy to understand why. My friend was very disappointed in me.
- creshal 2y agoJira is slow all the time. Sourcehut might, potentially, in contrived circumstances be at risk of becoming slow, but it's so well optimized that it's an outside risk, rather than a guarantee. Surely you understand the difference between the two categories of software?
