  • I bet the constraint here isn’t what’s serving the website but either an external dependency that they don’t have control over so that can’t scale or a relational database that they didn’t have the budget or expertise to scale

    Edit: or just that humans have to actually look at it and you’re waiting to talk to one

    My local government does it all async to avoid that issue





  • Tldr: Higher resolutions afford greater screen sizes and closer viewing distances

    There’s a treadmill effect when it comes to higher resolutions

    You don’t mind the resolution you’re used to. When you upgrade the higher resolution will be nicer but then you’ll get used to it again and it doesn’t really improve the experience

    The reason to upgrade to a higher resolution is because you want bigger screens

    If you want a TV for a monitor, for instance, you’ll want 4k because you’re close enough that you’ll be and to SEE the pixels otherwise.
