Now up: A first look at @bluesky's AT Protocol for distributed social networking
First impression: I could do with less protocol detail and more architecture. I am left with a lot of open questions about how this is going to actually work.

Next, it will helpfully highlight the areas where a client-side architecture *can* improve things -- usually in applications with many interactions (taps/clicks, not scrolls) per session.
In those domains, choice in JS stack is appropriate question, but not elsewhere.

First, for nearly every class of site ("app"), a better counterfactual will uncover that full page transitions actually aren't that expensive if you don't screw up your caching, and will scale better into the high percentiles where CPUs are much weaker.

It's easy to poke fun at the UK government at times, but I am continually impressed with their digital and online work @GOVUK .
"Building a resilient frontend using progressive enhancement" is a great example that they really care about users.

Look, if you're working on something you're excited about, and it's your choice to pull an all nighter or to sleep at the office or temporarily ignore work life balance, then go for it! If you're pressured into it by management, that management is being toxic and abusive.

Using raw lines of code counts as a valid performance measure for SW developers is a REALLY old trope & COMPLETELY misplaced. Classic review mistake of juvenile SW managers & execs. Real measures=functional req stability/utility, quality, robustness, compactness, ease of support.

One time, someone sincerely asked me why we need more than a handful of engineers for Chrome. "After all," they said, "it's just a box around websites!" It's easy for smart people to underestimate how much effort goes into something that looks simple.
