Side note: in Thailand and the Philippines, at least, mobile internet is blazing fast and not more expensive.

That's not universally true in all areas for both countries though.
As someone living in one of those countries, I beg to differ. Cheap maybe, but mobile internet is neither fast nor stable.
It's mostly the metal roofs everywhere blocking the signal.

I'm guessing that's Philippines :-]
It's still been good enough for me to get work done, video calls, etc. And mostly better than hotel/coffee shop WiFi.

In Vietnam it is also fast.

Github does? Maybe that's the reason why I often get the error message: "page took too long to render" after ten seconds of waiting.
example: https://github.com/pannous/hieros/wiki/%F0%93%83%80 this is admittedly a complicated markdown file, however it often fails on much simpler files.
that's a good reason to invest in self hosting! https://git.jeskin.net/hiero-wiki/file/%F0%93%83%80.md.html

oh, thanks for cloning! but [[links]] dont work and other (internal)[links] don't link to markdown.md.
gah, you're right. perhaps that could be fixed with a few clever grep/sed incantations. very interesting repo project if you're the author, by the way.

I hate it when devs implement their own timeouts. That’s handled at the network level, and the socket knows if progress is being made. I was stuck using 2G data speeds for a couple of years and I loathed this behavior.
Sometimes the infrastructure causes this. For a long time (and now?) AWS Api Gateway has a hard cap of 30 seconds, so the sum of all hops along the way need to remain under that.

A timeout at that level should mean “no progress” for 30s, not that a request/response needs to finish in 30s. An naive timeout that a dev randomly implements might be the latter and would be the source of my past frustration.
I love HTMX and similar technologies but I think GitHub is a particularly telling example of what can go wrong with these techs. The frontend is so full of consistency bugs that it's appalling: https://youtu.be/860d8usGC0o?t=693
I'm actually worried about developers in developing countries where mobile internet is the dominant way to access the Internet and GitHub is now the de facto way to participate in open source, that this is creating an invisible barrier to access.
