I swear people must get so lost in the development of some sites that they don't realise how bad they are. Pathetic load times, unnecessary page animations, confusing UIs, hijacking scrolling.
My favorite is when a full react site loads up, doesn’t have error boundaries, hits some unimportant js exception, and the entire page that was fully rendered and ready to go just pops out of existence and you are looking at a white page. That doesn’t seem like forward progress at all.
People like to talk badly about w3schools but at least it manages the bear minimum of actually being able to render and display the information I’m looking for.
If a page is presented, it better be f&@king usable
