Does that really apply when the javascript is only ~2kb?
- spartanatreyu 11mo agoYes, any request can get stuck at any time. That is what's happening any time you've seen a website that randomly decides to load without styles, or with a missing image. The good thing is that it's very apparent when that happens and you can just reload the page. But it's not immediately obvious when it happens with a JS file. That's half the reason why you shouldn't re-implement css features in a js file. (the other half is performance)
- justsomehnguy 11mo agoDo the end user should troubleshoot if that was a network dropout, some browser incompatibility or just a crappy code by a crappy coder? > the javascript is only ~2kb? It can be even 200Mb if it's not loaded properly and now a website doesn't even function.
