Impressive that they managed to make a plain blog post break. What kind of insane Javascript must be running, that a vertical scroll view with text and pictures has been overcomplicated to the point of breakage
- swatcoder 2y agoLast time I looked up a function in the Android API reference, it involved a 10MB of file transfer (mostly crude custom fonts, IIRC), and the browser gave up trying to resolve the anchor url meant to jump me to the function itself, so I had to Ctrl-f or manually scroll to actually get to my information. In recent years, FAANG web teams are way more invested in automating things than engineering them to be efficient, durable, or gracefully adaptive products.

- wmf 2y agoI also got a blank page on Firefox so I opened the inspector and found manmade horrors sadly within my comprehension: a bunch of elements that initially load as hidden then get unhidden later by JS (which never runs) and the body of the blog post is nothing but a script tag. What the fuck, Google.
