I was reading some UX literature, and one of the design rules is essentially "don't make your users wait". In the aughts they used to say your website should be readable within about 5 to 8 seconds. Now they say your react App should load on broadband within ten minutes. The exact threshold varies depending by context of course, but it's usually under 10 seconds.
I agree, but you can do better! Go for 16.6 milliseconds! You can do it if you try! Or 8.3 ms if you're hot.
@aeva ... ten minutes??? Surely that was meant to say 'seconds'? Right?
@joepie91 great question, see my FAQhttps://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/111419541333981510
@aeva Ah, I thought you were saying that someone was actively *advising* that the limit should be 10 minutes, which would be... even more absurd than it being that in practice
@joepie91 I think they're mostly just drooling into their keyboards in their posh bay area open plan offices, but who knows why these things happen
@aeva To quote the venerable eevee:
"What’s less great is a team of highly-paid and highly-skilled people all using Chrome on a recent Mac Pro, developing in an office half a mile from almost every server they hit, then turning around and scoffing at people who don’t have exactly the same setup."
