"Thing is, web developers don’t believe in performance. They say they do, but in reality, they don’t. What they believe in is hype."
A bit harsh, but I can't disagree.
Also: "Think about it: web, in general, failed to be fast, so Google invents a parallel web where they simply don’t let you use JavaScript."

"Filing a bug here isn't the way to change web standards no matter how you feel about them." isn't it ironic as a response from the same Google?

@Shamar That bugtracker does seem to increasingly rule the web.
But even giving Google the benefit of the doubt here, I do not think it's appropriate to say "that bug should be filed elsewhere" without specifying where that elsewhere is. While I understand why devs might say that, it is actively hostile.
Unfortunately those channels seem to be closing off more than they already were, I have less hope of getting heard at WHATWG than I do at W3C.
