If I seem prickly about the JavaScript-industrial-complex, it's because I've *seen* some shit, showed that shit to the folks most responsible, and they did jack to fix or prevent it from happening in the future. Now the whole web is covered in shit.

The post I'm working on now is a tour of a wee corner of a tiny smidgeon of what I've seen, as viewed from the relatively generous device and network budgets I updated to earlier this year[1]. I'm livid all over again.
