Googlers should be required to develop their apps on 5 year old computers with a network connection capped at 1mbps with 100ms latency. On this flight today I've tried to use Gmail, Google Flights, and Adsense, and they are either ridiculously slow or just don't work.-
Fastmail is one of the most performant, pleasant web apps I've ever used.

I actually labbed this type of environment for release testing at a prior employer. Drove the devs nuts, but reminding them they were building this app for their users in mobile environments was important.And this made our clients very very happy. It also became a key talking point for corporate sales of our service.

@aaronpk Everyone should be.
It's jarring to go from fiber back to 20M ADSL, especially for the upstream. Having asshat companies use upstream as they wish is very very annoying indeed.

@aaronpk Now I don't feel quite so bad that I code like I'm on my C64.

Yah, I think proprietary software development by large companies is always going to have this blindspot

@aaronpk scarce bandwidth is a nice way to scale down a web app addiction. 😌

@aaronpk Did you know that even though Windows 10 still supports dial-up, it doesn't really work.
The forced basic Telemetry, update checks, internet connectivity pings, etc. alone use up the 56k of bandwidth, so browsing the internet mostly just flat out doesn't work, regardless of patience. If you're lucky, you can get some text content popping up after a minute or two, but even if you wait 15 minutes, most sites are likely to never load a single image unless they're small sub 64x64 pixel icons. 90% of your http requests are simply going to time out or die for other reasons. -
@aaronpk Heck that's good idea for every (web)developer to try!
