"We got to a place where performance has been a constant problem in large part because a tribe of programmers convinced themselves that it wasn't and wouldn't be. The circa '13 narrative that:

- Organisations had all learned the lessons of Google and FaceBook's adventures in Ajax.
was all bullshit"
