I don't know what to think of a website that scrolls with 2 fps on mobile, lagging my whole browser and loading in about 10 seconds while having "GOLEM IS THE NEW WAY THE INTERNET WILL WORK " as it's introducing heading..

I mean the idea sounds great, I am very much in favour of decentralization, Ethereum, etc. but this website doesn't really show competence

Unfortunately having a flashy website seems to beat out good UX when it comes to attracting the 8 digit sums regularly being thrown at ICOs.

I have a feeling this will be used more for bad then for good.

A spam or DDOS bot net running on this would seem like a cheap way to operate.

On the other hand before if you found a 0-day exploit you had to think about how you could monitize it. With this you simply install the software on the exploited machines and billing is already built in.

Does competence in front-end web engineering matter when you're building a decentralized supercomputer?
