“If hardware has improved so much over the last 20 years, has the modern framework/ad-tech stack completely negated that progress with abstraction and poorly architected bloat?”

“To truly wrap your head around the phenomenon of a 49 MB web page, let's quickly travel back a few decades. With this page load, you would be leaping ahead of the size of Windows 95 (28 floppy disks). The OS that ran the world fits perfectly inside a single modern page load.”

@pheonix Oh, of course! This is a fantastic piece. I haven’t finished the second half yet, but I’m grateful you went through this all so carefully. As someone who has made web stuff for nearly 25 years now, I am frustrated daily with how careless most people are now. It is absolutely “still” important to make the web fast, small, and accessible!

Thanks for writing :]
