Sunday stream. ✨ SPDY STREAM 025 ✨ w/ @jodiechan.bsky.social was published. Working in the 🇨🇳 geo is often met w/ lengthy load times, if not timeouts entirely. Jodie Chan walked us through how CHINAFY helps companies prepare and understand how to operate in China. 🎥 youtu.be/f1p9Y3-IRAU

Weekend project with @jodiechan.bsky.social

Does anyone know whether the rate at which AI (e.g. Claude etc) renders text is the rate at which the text is actually being generated - or is it just a clever visual illusion as a rate limiting mechanism? @anthropic.com @darioamodei.bsky.social

Who here is starting something (again) this year? A short substack note about how I thought I missed running, but actually missed being good at it even more. substack.com/profile/1591...

Thank you @jodiechan.bsky.social for joining the ✨ SPDY STREAM ✨ and sharing the details in launching sites in China. We should have the episode soon!

✨ SPDY STREAM 025 ✨ goes to China! We are welcoming @jodiechan.bsky.social of Chinafy tomorrow to discuss the details of their recently published report. Take note of the 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇭🇰 friendly time. 📆 Tuesday February 24th ⚠️ ⏰ 7am EST, 8pm HKY, 12pm UK, 1pm CET ⚠️ 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/JwLfOtn...

Do we serve social media? Or does it serve us? Personal thoughts from someone who loves being present (IRL), who even in large crowds prefers one or two conversations. I’m often conflicted by how much my life and work revolve around being online, sharing en masse. open.substack.com/pub/sheisjoy...

Still fascinating how many global sites that load fast elsewhere still stall inside China. 40-60% of visitors time out, with pages taking 18sec+ vs 2sec. Sharing the State of China Web Perf Report 2025. Benchmarks, root causes, & what improves after optimization. insights.chinafy.com #china

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Who here's moved from ChatGPT over to Claude in the past few months? I've treated the two platforms like two different employees at work, but gosh the @anthropic.com strides are wide. Is it 1) possible and 2) good to have one ring (I mean ai platform) to rule them all? #ai

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Anyone know anything about Google's latest updates affecting spam filters on Gmail workspace emails? This is after checking out all the potential culprits across links/DMARC etc and getting top marks via tools. Happening to our workspace emails and that of our very reputable agency partners too!

NEW post: sparktoro.com/blog/ai-will... When tech execs say "AI will replace 50% of jobs!" that's just marketing. And when press, media, and yes, social media users like us uncritically repeat it, we help make sure that they'll say it again.

What tools do you use to attribute #webperf metrics to business ones? Do these tools work in China? An agency partner recently asked - “is there was a way to track potential traffic lost on a website to build a case for improvements in markets with less visibility?” Curious what you lot share.

If you're new to Bluesky and/or web performance, the wonderful @sia.codes has created an excellent starter pack of front-end #webperf folks to follow. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Last week I gave a talk at the #PerfNow conference titled “Performance Mistakes”. I started off explaining a bit about Etsy’s blameless culture, and how it’s ok to make mistakes. Then I shared 17 common #webperf mistakes using @httparchive.org data, with examples. www.slideshare.net/slideshow/pe...

Hey everyone! I ended my #perfnow talk by asking you all to consider contributing to the broader #webperf community. And one project I called out was e18e.dev. They're trying to connect together people working on JS packages performance (example below). Please consider joining their discord!

This is the A/B test from @tkadlec.bsky.social that @anniesullie.bsky.social referred to during her #perfnow talk. timkadlec.com/remembers/20...

Okay after just <48 hours of @bsky.app I think I’m properly hooked. The interface, lists, function, decentralisation, privacy, logo, community, moderation, blocking. I’m optimistic about this one. 🦋

"Always iterate". @anniesullie.bsky.social Good advice for product management, performance experimentation and so much more. I'm a huge proponent of the "what's the least amount of work we can do to see if we're on the right path" approach. #perfnow

Here are the slides for my #PerfNow talk yesterday! My attempt at a beginner's guide to becoming an expert at web performance. docs.google.com/presentation...

When not working in the web space, I’m an artist and singersongwriter under the name “Joya”. Turns out people who are passionate about one thing tend to also be passionate in general about many, with interests. Who knew. New to @bsky.app but recommended to give these lists a go!

“580K Sites load images from S3 instead of a CDN 200K Sites load more than 1MB from S3” Great talk by Paul Calvano at @perfnow.bsky.social #perfnow #WebPerf #ImagePerf

Until the next @perfnow.bsky.social ✌️ It seems we’ll all be coming in Halloween x Perfnow costumes. @tammyeverts.bsky.social looking forward to your zombie FID look 🧟‍♀️ #perfnow #webperf

@anniesullie.bsky.social keeping it real and keeping us humble #perfnow @perfnow.bsky.social

Love when tools have best practices baked in @danielroe.dev A public service when someone goes the long route to give others the chance to take the faster one ⚡️ @nuxt.com @nuxtlabs.com #perfnow

Great summary of font advice from @mandymichael.bsky.social from an amazing #perfnow talk on font performance! More resources: github.com/mandymichael...

Per @slightlyoff.bsky.social’s #perfnow talk… GOV.UK publishes great performance case studies on their tech blog. This is one of them. technology.blog.gov.uk/2020/07/02/s...

Thanks for the shoutout on this issue, @ericwbailey.website. #perfnow folks you can find that issue here and +1 it or comment to keep the discussion going! github.com/GoogleChrome... Also, some further reading from me at the time: www.filamentgroup.com/lab/a11y-rea...

"Put users 1st. Stand for the truth. Fight bulls*t with data" This is how yesterday ended at #PerfNow. Thank you @slightlyoff.bsky.social Photo of

💯 Principles we should all be living by. @ericwbailey.website at #perfnow

Deployed a quick China web compatibility testing tool together just for the @perfnow.bsky.social community, v 1.0. Let me know what you think⚡️ #perfnow #performancegaps

So, it turns out the web perf community is setting up a new home here. Setting up camp myself - say hi 👋 📍 @perfnow.bsky.social
