Face the platform reality. Recalibrate your engineering stack based on evidence, not marketing.
In the full Podcast, Alex Russell (Co-creator of PWA & Service Workers, Project Fugu Lead) dismantles the "Lost Decade" of frontend and explains why our current dev culture is failing the users.
You’ll understand:
✅ The SPA Myth: Why Single-Page Apps often deliver worse UX than a simple PHP site from 2005.
✅ The Standards Gap: How browser APIs (like content-visibility and Shadow DOM) can do for performance what frameworks can't.
✅ The Hardware Reality Check: Why your M3 MacBook is a "bubble of privilege" that blinds you to real-world performance.
✅ The "Collusion" of Standards: How W3C and TC39 actually work and why browsers ship features before they are "standard."
