On: Netflix: Removing client-side React.js improved performance by 50%

I just use lynx to browse and block downloading js files by default. I wrote this comment using ed and curl.

I don't know why you'd use such heavy duty applications for such a simple use case. I merely use a butterfly to induce cosmic rays to flip the bits of memory needed to send a http request.

A butterfly is way more complex than React.js.

[tomxor → positivecomment]

How true, in fact butterflies are more complex than all software put together :P you just broke that whole branch of xkcd jokes dammit!

Ha, you kids and your fancy lynx browsers. I do just fine with Netcat and typing in the HTTP requests by hand. Works just fine!

I wrote this with a torch and a length of fibre optic cable.
