I feel like various websites have gotten markedly worse over the past 2 months.

Like over the weekend, I was trying to buy something from Ikea, and I was finding like 15 second wait times in trying to nav the site.

And I'm not picking on Ikea specifically, because every site I've been engaging with feels for w/e reason a little extra glitchy.

I know these are vibes, not facts.

The challenge is whenever I start to try to pin down exactly what feels off.

It's no longer there when I get back to it.

It feels like I'm being actively gaslit.

So this is mostly just me being like, am I actually the only one feeling this way?

@raiderrobert nothing comes to mind. Any more specifics / examples?

I mean… GitHub is absolute 💩 these days since they seem to be vibe rewriting the whole thing in React and making literally everything else… but beyond that I haven’t really noticed anything.

@ianthetechie LinkedIn on the web was super slow over the weekend. I looked into the console, and it was spamming itself trying to talk to Chrome plugin for recruiters apparently. So that was explainable in a very weird sense.

Yes, GitHub has felt worse. So has Slack. So has Jira.

@raiderrobert I don’t use Jira and don’t use Slack as a web app. Or even enough to notice. Unsurprised about LinkedIn though. Their problems go back YEARS. I remember for like 2 years straight I had to force quit the app at conferences cuz my phone would overheat if I left it “running.” This is on iOS mind you, which has much stricter limits than Android. So it was BAD. It’s only barely improved since.
