So...
Who fed the Internet?
Devs and designers.
We love complexity.
Hype driven development.
Complexity is good for:

Fake simplicity.

I care about it because it makes the web inaccessible.
Poor performance leads to exclusion. It's an ethical issue.
We should get our priorities straight.

Dead to pixel perfect.
You can't create an excellent experience for everyone.
You should aim for an acceptable experience for as many people as possible.
So... Are you thinking of underdeveloped countries?
