What software is this? I'm trying to do these sorts of analyses, but I come from the silicon and can't for the life of me figure out what the good tools are.
@sandbender @molly0xfff That's just the network tab in the Chrome developer options. Try hitting F12 in your favorite web browser.

@sandbender @molly0xfff looks like Chrome’s built-in developer tools, set to the “network” tab, which logs every in-/out-bound network request

The fact that they’re blindly firing retries instead of an exponential back-off is… not smart web engineering. And it’s a little strange they’re hitting a JSON endpoint, I thought they had a GraphQL setup to simplify/reduce over fetching/provide sitewide exponential backoff as a default.

@sandbender @molly0xfff These are just the Chrome built-in dev tools. Hit F12 and poke around. Firefox has similar tools. They're very useful and quite informative.
