• A photo of a petite black cat who has decided that rather than going into the igloo-shaped cat bed, she will go on top of it, crushing it under her weight. She is looking up at the camera with an intelligent expression despite having no thoughts in her brain. (remote)

I'll give you a hint, Trump & Republicans pass speech orders trying to stop you from saying the truth about it. But it's cultural to blame "white ppl"

The broken padlock has the effect of creating solidarity: managers experience it as a broken site in the same way users do. And when managers experience something going badly, it gets fixed.

And yet, browsers do not do this for performance. At all. Not even in devtools.

It's a shocking failure of imagination and care.

You see, the key problem in web performance today is getting managers to give a shit.

This has been true for many years, but we like to talk around it and pretend that the next incremental engineering improvement will actually change things, even when we know full well that it will not.

And we know what works; as this decline and atrophy has taken hold, we've also succeeded in migrating the entire web to TLS. It's an incredible feat! How, you might ask? With an icon.

The one exception to this has been Core Web Vitals, but that was weakened and delayed by multiple years for predictable (and predicted) reasons.

But even the weak-sauce that CWV served has helped to highlight just how badly browsers have let everyone down -- users most of all.

The post-scarcity dream was, of course, wrong on the facts about desktop computing too, but putting that to the side for a moment, I think it's important to focus on the browser's role in enabling frontend's lost decade.

We suffered a collective hallucination this dramatic because nobody shook the community awake. There was no intervention.

Fearful, cowardly product managers even tried to police my work in highlighting how poorly it was going & succeeded in sinking effective interventions.
