As a long time Internet user I could actually imagine myself becoming passionate about "Make The Internet Fast Again". I wonder how one would start a career in that direction. It's a bit of a dilemma: In order to build fast modern websites you probably need to know how to build horrible modern websites. And I can't really motivate myself to imitate horrendous websites just for kicks. In fact, I stopped creating websites when jQuery wasn't enough anymore. In other words, more than ten years ago... It's not that I shun more recent technologies, I am willing to learn. I just don't want to create Frankensteinish websites first.

Any tips for a more direct path towards website optimization jobs?
