Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is the definition of an engineer in your eyes? In some countries there is a legal definition, so developers are not allowed to call themselves engineers unless they have an engineering degree (and not the software kind).

It is not about my personal definition, there are even laws as you said. I just find it silly to use a definition that you typically need 4-6 years of maths heavy formal education for front end javascript that you can learn on youtube in a month.

In some regions, the title engineer is not a protected title, so you could call yourself a css engineer or whatever and it’s perfectly fine.

The reason your website is lagging so much is because of the globe. I have reported this a while ago: https://github.com/shuding/cobe/issues/78

Looking at performance recording in Chrome, it's not cobe.

Cobe does not seem to trigger huge time spent in Layerizing and Style recalculations, which are the main areas the web page spends time for me.

Curiously it's not as bad on corporate windows laptop that has worse specs, and which was outputting to 30fps-locked display (personal laptop was rendering to 165Hz screen...)

Love the design, I don’t know if Vercel (Zeit) pioneered this or if they even took inspiration themselves but it’s beautiful and minimal. The rendering has some issues though.

> it’s beautiful and minimal.

What's minimal about it? Washed out colors, everything white, and grey font do not make something minimal.

Come on, even the too lines in their call out slide in with unnecessary animations. Everything on the page is moving, bouncing, animating. If it's .minimalism, it's Michael Bay of minimalisms

This page is IMPRESSIVELY BAD . I don't even care what it shows due to just how audibly resource heavy it is while showing pretty much nothing other than some simple copy. There's no way in hell opening the main page should cause so much load my computer sounds like I just opened Cyberpunk 2077 or Doom Eternal at max details, especially given the amount actually rendered (I just opened the page, didn't even scroll an…

You are not kidding. I can't remember the last time a website has made my scroll stutter so much.
