So Carmack, being the genius that he is, sucked out all the fun of making games from id software. Even the music was shut off when he arrived at the offices and they worked in silence, according to romero.
What an a-hole.

TIL that while I thought Quake was the pinnacle for John Romero and Id software, the reality was far from it. Also didn't know that Romero was also behind another one of my favorite games - Deus Ex.

Did you know that jQuery outperforms React, what? 😳
Sounds like clickbait, but is reality. The HTTP Archive shows 82% of sites that use jQuery have good INP on mobile📱, while only 67% do when they use React⚛️.
Not just sites, also libraries. Let's fix that👇#webperf
