@forever THIS GOD STOP USING REACT UUUUGGGGHHHHH
@arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si Honestly React isn't even the problem here, it's that "progressive enhancement" has completely fallen out of the collective consciousness among web developers. It's entirely possible to do progressive enhancement with React when you actually care about it! It's not even particularly hard...
@alinanorakari @arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si It's often all the tracker/thirdparty bullshit responsible for that tbh - not just analytics, but also A/B testing platforms, support widgets, ads, etc. The world would be so much better off without that shit
@joepie91 @arcade @forever far too many "techy" sites I visit load the document containing a skeleton, then maake me wait for one to n XHRs slowly populating the page with content. That's just plain lazy offloading of work from your webserver to my client. I find that ruthless. Your server knows what I requested, you've got the URL with all the parameters. Do your freaking job and deliver HTML that contains what I asked for. Jeesh
@alinanorakari @arcade @forever@fedi.nullob.si Ah yeah the 'unnecessary SPAs' are definitely an issue. I've been trying to tell people to stop doing that forever, but it's hard to fight against the SPA hype...
