I worked as frontend dev for a long time (love performance optimization), expanded to more backend focused roles over time to have e2e impact and reduce waste. Im looking for a fullstack role, preferably with backends in node/elixir/ruby. I love those languages and would like to continue being exposed to those ecosystems.
I thought I was going crazy, but on my M3 pro with 36gb, 300 line file is... Weird when I scroll up/down. It's just not smooth. I don't know how to explain it, but I don't like that effect.
I'm pretty sure people who give in to subscriptions are usually forced to use a tool (or adobe) for one reason or another. New tool, that does one small thing, would not force many people to go into that absurd payment model.
FWIW with pretty aggressive uBlock setup its "just" 7MB and 1.6s to load, so it might be just their love for analytics, tracking, measuring and lack of smart code splitting thats killing the performance.
