The zen of web development

Alex Russell:

any time you're running JS on the main thread, you're at risk of being left behind by progress.

The zen of web development is to spend a little time in your own code, and instead to glue the big C++/Rust subsystems together, then get out of the bloody way.

Stitch together just the right amount of subsystems, which have been insanely optimized by others, then get out of your own and your users’ way.
