Well yeah, but just imagine how much money they’re saving by delivering a subpar experience!

[zozbot234]

They're not even saving any money. Syntax highlighting is a trivial workload, whereas the average SPA spends a lot of time in pointless roundtrips that have the server send more data down the pipe than the SSR equivalent.

I'll play devils advocate - does it save them some storage space or bandwidth in the CDN that delivers Github?

[scrollaway]

Sending data is what’s trivial compared to compute… syntax highlighting is not trivial workload compared to that, you don’t know what you’re saying.

Or how much money they are capturing in investiments or corporate deals because of the tech stack

I guess if you say "we've made the UX worse" instead of "we've reduced costs but made the UX worse" to shareholders, they think of cost savings regardless.
