> Blatant disrespect of your users is so 1995

I think that's more apt for 2021, the era of fake loading bars, lying to the user, hiding functionality, sacrificing performance for labor costs and harvesting private information.

Back in the 90s, UIs were more likely to give you statistics you might or might not care about instead of vacuous animations, and they were fast as hell.




You're correct, but I was talking about the actual attitudes of coders, which were remarkably hostile towards users in the 90s.
