The link takes around 10s to render. That's excessive for a text article.

Well, it’s a published Notion site, and Notion is a powerful doc creation platform. It’s not really intended to be a performant publishing tool.

Yeah the guy at my last place that was proud of serving < 2 req/s/core liked to use the world “powerful” too. It’s like it was his favorite word. And he’s on the short list of people I refuse to work with again. What a putz.

Powerful, lightweight, configurable, performance.

These are some of the biggest weasel words of IT. Every one of them has an implicit nature of a comparison word and yet the comparison or any sort of hard metrics are always completely absent in their use.
