part of the reason why modern software is so crappy, is because developers often have thee most powerful machines (MacBook pro like) and don't even realize how resource hungry and crrappy their software at lower end devices
This is by far the worst offender I've seen.
Madness.
I’m usually on an old copper line (16 ms ping to Amsterdam) in the Netherlands (130 ms to San Francisco).
Some sites are just consistently slow. Especially GitHub or cloud dashboards. My theory is that the round trip to the database slows things down.
Jira is so agonisingly slow it’s a wonder anyone actually pays for it. Are the devs who work on it held against their will or something? It’s ludicrous.
GitHub gets worse every day, with the worst sin being their cutesy little homegrown loading bar, which is literally never faster than simple reloading the page.
To ward off potential criticism: I know you can mix client-side updates with server-side updates in LiveView and co. I’ve tried. Maintaining client-side changes on a managed DOM, sort of like maintaining a long-lived topic branch that diverges from master, sucks.
