Can you imagine if one day you got in your car and it had a top speed of 600MPH as "normal driving speed"? That's how the web would be in 2023 had all the third-party tracking crap never existed.
(I just did some page loading analysis with and without functionally-unnecessary 3rd party ecommerce assets and needed to find a way to express the speed increase to non-tech types.)

Sarah DrasnerI keep thinking about how we programmers tend to mistake arrogance for confidence.
Arrogance leads to poor decision-making due to a lack of curiosity. Not exploring a technical space.
Confidence is leveraging curiosity, knowing you’ll weigh tradeoffs appropriately.
It's a shame to see Microsoft's two sides. One does good work in some areas (developer tools like VS Code, Windows Terminal, WSL, GitHub), while the other universally pisses people off (all the consumer products like Edge and all the bloaty add-ons NOBODY asked for, self-serving ads in Windows 11 updates, and the "New Outlook for Windows"). I don't understand how making a product worse improves business or the customer relationship.
