I feel bad for the engineers because surely they knew the new site was incredibly slow and poorly optimised, so it must have been pushed through by management. It looks alright, but dear god the performance.

I wouldn't be so sure. It really depends on the quality of the engineers. And if they're quality why are they working for Reddit pushing out crappy software? Could be a case of resume driven development.

I'd like to give the engineers and designers the benefit of the doubt, but there are better ways to do what they tried to do.

Somewhere in the engineering hierarchy, some very poor decisions were made.
