@grimalkina seems like something
@pragprog would jump at! They have a ton of great technical books and many books about the practice of engineering and engineering teams. My fav publisher.
@CSLee @seresearchers thank you for sharing this. Hoping to share developer thriving culture with my team, and this looks like a great deep dive into one aspect we can definitely put into practice.
@slightlyoff @a11yMel so it seems I misunderstood the situation, and perhaps was misunderstood myself? Many engineers I meet are skeptical of these perf criticisms, and I try to be a generous aid. Gonna miss sometimes. I’ll work on it 🙏
@a11yMel @slightlyoff welcome to the empirical performance community! It’s likely that Alex ran this trace on simulated network conditions and a simulated volume Android device to replicate the global p75 experience. This is to highlight the performance inequality gap, a series he updates every year.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2024
How much HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can we afford? More than in years past, but much less than frontend developers are burdening users with.
Some of the opinions I hear about Elixir are becoming embarrassing for the people who hold them. “No jobs, no candidates” is a fun one that might have had some validity a decade ago, but just today, and just on LinkedIn, I found job listings for startups, industry titans (NVIDIA!), and boring companies like Johnson & Johnson all looking for Elixir experience. It’s ok to let the old ideas go.
@johnallsopp @collinsworth true that you shouldn’t pick a framework released last week if you’re trying to hire for expertise, but tech selection and hiring based on the largest pool has its own problems, unless resumes and phone screens is your favorite pastime.
Every single elder millennial who was online between 2000-2008 has a phrase from Homestar Runner that will activate them like the Manchurian Candidate and make them spout absolute gibberish for 40 seconds
