I Just Want Something to Happen When I Click

“This happens the most Web-surfing. It’s still the
world-wide-wait. Click, wait. Click, wait. You know why Facebook,
Twitter, and all the rest of those fun sites that bosses hate are
so successful? Because people have to fill all that waiting time
somehow. They’re just sitting there, waiting on their computers.
It’s not enough time to do something productive, but it is enough
time to Tweet.

“I swear there are only six Web developers in the whole world,
and four of them are mental cases. They write terrible,
unnecessarily script-heavy pages that kick multi-core CPUs into the
red zone, and have hundreds of elements per page. Pages take
forever to load, and they hammer your system so hard you can’t do
anything else while you’re waiting. Then all the rest of the Web
devs in the world copy and paste from the Terrible Four. Why not
the Good Two? Because humans are perverse. I laugh, I mock Google
DNS because they bill it as a way to speed up Web surfing. My dear
Google brainiacs, DNS lookups are the least of our problems. They
won’t do a thing to fix boggy Web pages or overloaded ad
servers.”
