True, but there are limits. It’s surprising how many apps and webpages I use that are just straight up slow - things that should load instantly instead take a second or two. The web is a good application for this to some extent since there are other latencies that make this less noticeable, but they still exist.

Anything written to be performant is immediately noticeable - things just happen when you click a button. Dev time > runtime, but I’d argue some runtimes are so slow they begin to eat into user time too.

I notice this too. If I open a SPA there almost always will be a spinning circle and I have to wait like 3 or more seconds before I can see the content. In theory one can write a SPA that would load instantly, but in reality it will be a spinning circle.

I can only imagine how many people will just close the tab and move to next search result.
