Ah, but what's really discussed in the article is speed

How fast a page loads. How quickly a tool can be understood. How quickly a tool can be used.

How quickly the user can understand the product. How quickly they can figure out what they're doing wrong.

Speed is the one true killer app.

It's one of the few things that, when it's better than user expectations, will illicit stunned vocalizations of "bullshit, do it again. Oh shit, it's really that fast" from nearly everyone.

Minimalism certainly makes speed easier. But you can also have a minimal, one call API that takes forever and a day to resolve because it joins 20 tables
