“It helps build fast rendering sites, sometimes even sub-second renders…”

That has to be a typo, right? Or sarcasm?

I weep for what we’ve all done to the beautiful speed and simplicity of the web.

I don't think it's a typo - a sub-second render on a modern website with all the bells and whistles that users now expect...that probably puts you in the 99th percentile, maybe even higher.

Not disagreeing with you though - it's amazing how much bloat we've added. Nobody seems to get just how fucking fast the web actually is. Take a look at Figma or Linear if you want to see products that truly care about performance.

HN, which is as far removed as you can get from modern websites takes 700-900ms from initial request to render if you're in a logged in session.

Whoever claims that sub second rendering isn't outstanding is just clueless.
