Web Dev · by Mateo Cruz · 2026-10-04
My favorite low-effort upgrade for performance without making it complicated
The detail that surprised me was how much the library changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Web Dev feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
