Someone in the industry here.
Sadly there’s no money or hype in developing broken pages, as cool and fun as it sounds. Especially with the high speed connection people have these days.
I guess the concept of webpages as documents had fallen out of favor especially that dynamic contents became more prevalent. This is even true for Lemmy.

- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t say he must have been right. I said he’s popular.
Many people would jump off a cliff if he told them to. If many people would use Linux because of his content, then so be it. There’s no amount of complaining here that would change anything anyway.

- Comment on Pluralistic: The enshittification of tech jobs 3 weeks ago:
But why full stack?
Because there’s so many of them, with more and more keep piling up fresh out of the coding bootcamp. Most of them don’t even know what to do with life, know a bit of everything, but they’re never good with anything really, so they are considered like worker ants. Not sure how it is in other parts of the world, but in Asian job market they’re a dime a dozen.

- Comment on Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len() 5 weeks ago:
People seem to be unaware that python has bindings for lower-level languages like C. In fact, people have been heavily using resource intensive libraries implemented in C (e.g. numpy, scipy, pandas, uwsgi).
Also, Python interpreter performance has come a long way.
- Comment on Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len() 5 weeks ago:
Because, while you don’t want to nitpick on each instruction cycle, sometimes the code runs millions of times and each microsecond adds up.
Keep in mind that people use this kind of things for work, serving real world customers who are doing their work.
Yes, the language itself is not optimal even by design, but its easy to work with, so they are making it worth a while. There’s no shortage of people who can work with it. It is easy to develop and maintain stuff with it, cutting development cost. Yes, we’re talking real businesses with real resource constraints.
