- __natty__ 3mo agoFunny enough. I’m opening this on mobile internet connection and it stuck at loading spinner. I don’t know if the problem is with my internet (probably not) or support for mobile so I can’t even read the content.
- TSiege 3mo agoit's a sarcasm loader
- elmigranto 3mo agoMy guess it’s a joke.
- frisia 3mo agoI think that's the joke :) all other articles load fine instantly, just this one that has a spinner
- __natty__ 3mo agoHeh it got me then :)
- ErroneousBosh 3mo agoGot me too :-)
- alsetmusic 3mo agoWhoosh! Right over my head. I feel a little silly, but also, got me!
- TSiege 3mo agolol this got me
- pegasus 3mo agoAll I got is a "loading" animation. Gave up after 10 seconds. So, not a counterargument, but a confirmation of the article's thesis.
- tele_ski 3mo agoIt's a joke/sarcasm
- sorenjan 3mo agoSufficiently advanced parody is indistinguishable from reality.

- Izkata 3mo agoAges ago when writing.com was first modernizing its site, they started by hiding story content to display a spinner, waiting a second or two, then re-displaying the content. It was on the page the whole time, they just made it look like it was loading in the background.
- TonyStr 3mo agoI remember doing this as a kid making my first website. I thought it looked more "professional"
- 650REDHAIR 3mo agoI got wooshed. Nice work!
- sodapopcan 3mo agoI wish I hadn't read the replies. I love being made the fool (though not to worry, I'll have plenty of other opportunities, likely today!)
- pkphilip 3mo agoI have to say that I hate SPAs. It is often a far worse user experience than the vanilla multi-page websites.

- bryanrasmussen 3mo agoLike most defenses of Single Page Applications it managed to make me angry, at least at first.
