I Forget

Frontend devs. Sweeties. Let's talk.

Do you remember the Web in the 90s? I do. My computer today has more RAM than my computer in the 90s had hard disk. My cable modem today can download that amount of data several times over every second.

The web today feels as slow today as it did in the 90s. On a 56k modem.

It's not your fault. I get it. Business demands, shifting frameworks. But engineer to engineer here, I'm really gonna need you to start telling them no. It's getting embarrassing.

@epilanthanomai I started building websites in 1998 and never had the desire to work with big corporate clients. I just didn't want the web to become the realm of capitalism and I had no interest in aiding in that process. All my sites have been for small non-profits and small businesses. HTML, CSS and little else other than photos when needed. No trackers, no JS.

One mistake I DID make was using google fonts but going forward no more of that.
