<2022-01-27T19:07:52.000Z> RustyCrab@kiwifarms.cc: iam assuming butso if you go to employers.indeed.com for examplethere is no team that owns that page (Im sure there is someone formally charged with it but you know what I mean)that page is actually a back-end platform that different indeed teams make plugins foreach plugin is somewhat self-contained, with a global-shared-state-in-javascript way to communicate between each other, because fuck everything and everyoneeach individual plugin is doing at least two http requests, one for javascript and one for assets. Then, many plugins have backends they make additional requests tothose requests are being deprecated in favour of some kind of like federated graphql thing or something where, by magic, every team makes all of their data available to other teams via a grapqhl endpointprior to this deprecation, it was not possible to make graphql queries to indeed servers, because those servers were on the intranet behind a firewallso the frontend hits the backend pattern was because the backend has privileged access to all those endpoints it needs to get data frombut because we are moving all of those requests that previously happen on the backend, to the frontend, the request count on the frontend will grow erven though the actual total requests havne't changed muchthere's a famous software engineering law I forget what it's callef but basically"the structure of your application will recreate the structure of your business"indeed's business structure, at least in SMB, is a bunch of random teams each with an area of focus who tyry to do everything as self-contained as possible. This ends up causing a proliferation of requests
<2022-01-27T19:32:05.000Z> deprecated_ii: amazin'
<2022-01-27T19:34:01.000Z> deprecated_ii: I noticed the problems getting really bad when they added the auto-preview thing, it feels more like it's blocking and timing out than just loading the page down with requests although there are a massive number of requests
<2022-01-27T19:37:52.000Z> RustyCrab@kiwifarms.cc: that could also be it, although, good god, batch that shit
