@inthehands They not only did this for a month straight to Biden, they did it during a month where the Supreme Court said presidents are kings and where there was literally an assassination attempt against the other candidate!

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jul-2024 10:23:30 JST Brian David @inthehands one of the biggest bummers about this is that back/forward caching in browsers has been around forever and really helps with this kind of thing, but then the JS thought leaders decided to ignore all that because using native browser features is apparently for chumps. Thus ruining web UI forever after.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Friday, 19-Jul-2024 03:11:54 JST Brian David @janl @mattly @polotek Yes, it's mostly the org chart vomiting onto the screen. And also, I have found that all backend devs and engineering VPs I've talked to about this seriously believe this is a better user experience than waiting longer with a splash screen but getting a more complete final render. A lot of people don't realize that multiple shimmers resolving at different times is usually perceived as slower to the user and introduces tons of jank.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Apr-2024 09:06:51 JST Brian David @GossiTheDog @malwaretech "Poll taken after the beginning of the war." Way to cherry pick.
Oh look, I can do that too!

Nobody in the US bought into Iraq. Literally the largest anti-war protests in history. Do not use Iraq as a rubric for basically anything.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Apr-2024 08:26:16 JST Brian David @GossiTheDog @malwaretech The response to 9/11 is widely considered the greatest foreign policy failure in the history of the United States. By basically everyone, including everyone in the US.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Friday, 22-Dec-2023 13:11:06 JST Brian David @thomasfuchs Goodness that thread was wild.
Anybody who has ever thought to themselves "I haven't experienced that here" should spend some time looking through the responses to any mildly viral thread.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Thursday, 26-Oct-2023 07:51:28 JST Brian David @thomasfuchs @hbuchel Absolutely. I'm willing to bet a not insignificant amount of money (by which I mean, no more than $10) that React Server Components will never get used anywhere on Facebook.

Brian David (bcdavid@hachyderm.io)'s status on Saturday, 27-May-2023 08:56:39 JST Brian David @atomicpoet I love HTML 5 and web technologies in general, but it was very much Apple that destroyed Flash by refusing to support it in iOS.
