Weird how "modern" has come to mean "measurably worse in almost every metric" within the scope of software

Context, someone sent me this:

… things like modern web sites, [are] not going to be pretty on a single core, single threaded CPU.

If your documents (and that’s all a website is) is so bloated that it is “not going to be pretty” rendered by a single core CPU, that website is objectively inferior than one which would “be pretty” on the same hardware. Simple as that.

@robby I love doing graceful degradation in web design. It's pretty challenging though.
