I hate slow websites. They are annoying to use and frustrating to work on. But what does it mean to be “slow”? It used to be waiting for document load. Then waiting for page ready. But with so many asynchronous patterns in use today, how do we even define what “slow” is? The W3C has been working on this with the new Event Timing and Element Timing API , and has defined some new Web Vital metrics to describe the different ways that slow performance can impact a webpage.

One thing I love about JavaScript is that there are many ways to accomplish the same task, one such example being creating functions. There are several patterns for functions; one of the last you see used is the new Function method : /* new Function(arg1, arg2 (.), body) */ const myFunction = new Function('users', 'salary', 'return users * salary'); What if you want to use this new Function method to create an async function?

I really appreciate the amount of different <input> elements we’ve received over the past decade.

In a recent case, I found a UI element not useful: the x (clear) icon in <input type="search" /> elements.
