And at the same time I'd like to encourage people to do their own studies and, if possible, do them out in the open where our peers can review and provide feedback. A situation I try to avoid is have a member of our community overpromise benefits to their business folks after reading a study and then not seeing the expected business metric impact from the performance improvements. I think it's a disservice to the web perf community to publicize poor studies. Especially when said advice and numbers come without any data, methodology, sample sizes, and so on. I wanted to make the point of not blindly trusting performance advice and numbers we read out there. # anchorTalksĪfter Sergey did what Sergey does great (give an intro to the meetup and its famous geekaways list useful sites and resources, encourage mingling), I proceeded to do my version of an Old Man Yelling at the Internet and complain about some of the performance studies circulating out there that I think are doing more harm than good. In my eyes this meetup, organized by Sergey Chernishev and now Mellisa Ada, is an institution, being the first ever Web Performance meetup in the world, and so it was a thrill to be back with the tribe, so to speak. Last week I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the first in-person meeting of the New York Web Performance meetup since the pandemic started.
