#122One of the fastest, lowest latency websites I use is HN, and it’s entirely server rendered. It’s also a massively popular website with probably thousands of hits per minute. Anyone who tells you server side rendering is too slow, probably has no idea what they’re talking about.

#128I swear people must get so lost in the development of some sites that they don't realise how bad they are. Pathetic load times, unnecessary page animations, confusing UIs, hijacking scrolling.

#130There are too many hedges and hand-wavy generalizations to take this seriously. > Client-side apps are wads of Javascript that must be loaded and parsed before it can load and parse JSON which it can then transformed into HTML. Precisely nothing about this is optimal for browsers and networks. Many applications are used infrequently and browser caches are not magic (and disagree with you about how important you app i…
