On a flight yesterday I saw this short film, Feeling Through. I thought it was beautifully done. The acting by Steven Prescod and Robert Tarango (who is deafblind in the role and in real life as well) was really touching. It's free to watch on the film's website: https://www.feelingthrough.com

I had the great opportunity to go on the Syntax podcast and talk about web performance, web components, the Boston Globe project, JavaScript over reliance, Squarespace, and a lot more. It was fun to jump on a show I listen to regularly. That episode is live with an utterly linkbait title wherever you get your podcasts! 🎉 https://syntax.fm/show/848/web-components-can-t-save-us-with-scott-jehl

As far as reaching the people who matter, the obvious difference in impact between:
a) 10 years of the entire web performance community painstakingly documenting and blogging and measuring and despairing about the ghastly performance of React websites and
b) @wesbos posting a youtube short about how fast a website can be when it doesn't use a client-side framework
is not lost on me 😅

It’s very cool to see the JS framework community get excited about performance this week.

A colleague at Squarespace remarked that the frameworks that cause performance problems are the ones that outsource their compute to users' devices. Well put.

A lot has been said about performance work being about building company culture around it. The acronymification of every performance topic has made that work a lot harder. Obscure terms make web performance seem more complicated than it really is, and make it easier to disregard performance as a topic for one specialized team to monitor, instead of something to be considered alongside other priorities whenever decisions are made.

Do we need to build every website on a massively multiplayer gaming engine? Trends suggest yes. But I am unconvinced.

There's a video going around where @wesbos does a nice job explaining some of the web-standard performance patterns that make one particularly-quick e-commerce site work, well, quickly. It's heartening to see so many folks in the comments fired up about how well the site works. And yet, so frustrating that it's uncommon. The React community was SO effective at convincing us to build ordinary websites with tools that were designed for building facebooks. Good to see, nonetheless. More of this.

I have a hunch that the most effective web performance teams will spend less time fighting fires and more time being Smokey Bear.

Think I'll post this on the bad site since that's where the audience who needs to hear this is.

The more I tune into JS framework discussions the more I’m concerned at how few developers seem to be concerned with how their work is actually delivered. Browsers are optimized to receive websites as HTML first, yet frameworks taught a generation of developers to build blogs like they are executable files to load & boot. I was asked twice this week if I think server components are a good idea (?). Yes! Create react app was a poor fit for most sites. Stop building the Web like it’s an App Store.
