Googlers should be required to develop their apps on 5 year old computers with a network connection capped at 1mbps with 100ms latency. On this flight today I've tried to use Gmail, Google Flights, and Adsense, and they are either ridiculously slow or just don't work.

I hear you, but I wonder if you don't have it backwards. 2020 is the year and airlines WiFi is like 1995 dialup? Something is wrong and I think it may be in the sky.

I don't think that's fair to say until you've personally had to maintain a wifi network that supports 300 simultaneous connections where the only uplink is an unstable satellite or cellular connection.

I think Facebook has something like 2G tuesdays when all developers’ network speeds are capped to 2G so they feel what it’s like to use Facebook in a third-world country

Fastmail is one of the most performant, pleasant web apps I've ever used.

I've bee saying this for years! Not just Gookida, but all who are developing apps on top of tbe boxes and speeds. Not realistic.

I know! It used to be so good! Ever since the new UI it's just gone straight downhill.
