You say yourself that websites are now janky. That is also my experience.

In fact, despite new tech, it is a relatively recent phenomenon that I feel my phone slowed down by a freaking website.

Furthermore, phones may be faster, but websites load slower and are janky due to unnecessary async loading.

So what’s the point of faster phones? The point is that webdev is terrible.

The article goes into all sorts of hoopla to claim that the web isn't slower. Thing is, I can still open those websites on of yore on my phone right now! And to no one's surprise, the new web tech is indeed slower and imo also worse in user experience. So yeah.
