Unfortunately this website relies on Tailwind's CDN for styling, which in turn is deployed on Vercel, which in turn is mostly hosted on AWS.

The page is 320KB in size. They could have made it a static page with some simple HTML, the whole thing would have been under 10KB and would not have needed a CDN.

Wasn't there some tech demo some time ago how to store a tiny webpage in DNS TXT records? I think this would be the usecase for that :)

Probably churned out using v0 which defaults to bloat

The thing that worries me the most, is that oftentimes nobody cares. That demotivates me a lot, as I tend to invest huge loads of my time into optimising various things, and all of them are meaningless if you ‘just buy a faster computer.’ Most of my websites are served with a low-powered computer, and I tend to optimise them to work well on them. But buying just one beefy server compensates all my optimisations. I have no idea what to do about that. I still care about these things, as I believe that’s what makes me a professional. But there are countless examples when you can just ignore all that and see no real difference.

The bottom turtle should be a raspberry pi in somebody’s closet. No dependencies.

Bad news about ISPs... Really you want a RPi on solar power, attached to a longwave transmitter, and with direct peering agreements with all dominant global providers. Most well-connected rpi in existence.

This is beginning to be a good sign that it was AI generated. For some reason the AI's really love using Tailwind CSS.

Human devs also love using tailwind.
