Isn't github a rails app that heavily uses server side rendering?




Not any longer. The rewrite which destroyed performance uses ReactJS https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44799861

What is terrible is that new developers think that this has been the usual poor state of things...this is why Zig & others moving to alternate platforms is good.


I'll be honest, I don't use github often. So if they're wrong, well, they fucked up in their complaint that could be redirected to one of many other websites instead.

fair enough! To be clear - a rails app and a bloated js app are not mutually exclusive. From my observations though, github feels slow because it feels slow, not because of js shittiness
