Mat Marquis’ talk from TXJS 2015 is a rallying cry for performance, responsive images and trying to build websites in the most conscientious way possible:
We, as an industry, have nearly decided that we’re doing a great job as long as we don’t count the cases where we’re doing a terrible job. We want the user to think about The Website—to sympathize with us—over their reason for being there. We’re making them sit through a lecture about furniture design every time they try to sit down in a chair.
