No, sorry, when I visit the Next Web, for example, I don&#x27;t want 600 kilobytes of CSS and JS just to look at what&#x27;s basically a list of photos and some text. That is <i>insane</i> by any measure, and I&#x27;m not even counting the photos (as they&#x27;re necessary and there&#x27;s not much to do about those). It seems to all be there so the site can be a wonder of mystery meat navigation, with clicks randomly bringing elements in and out of focus and taking me to random sites I didn&#x27;t ask for.<p>As a moderately seasoned developer, I&#x27;ve seen this in my friends too (you know who you are). They get excited by the latest and greatest technology (which is great and they should) and they apply it to their business without first asking themselves if it&#x27;s actually beneficial (which is bad and they shouldn&#x27;t).<p>Most of them come around to &quot;build it simple at first and optimize later&quot;, or YAGNI, but in the mean time, we get things like The Next Web.<p>$5 TNW&#x27;s next iteration is plain HTML and simple CSS with a minimal amount of JS and they make a big thing out of how performant their site is now, loading instantly, etc. Good job, you discovered Web 1.0 again, but this time with better designers.
