github and the crime against software

github’s front-end code is a mess: comparisons of github, gitlab, and codeberg.

Would love to see Trac and Sourcehut included in this comparison.

If the author's reading this: take a look at the Casey Muratori vs Uncle Bob debate. The former uncovered some very interesting performance degradations:

I couldn't resist, so I looked at the performance capture in Chrome and we now know who the culprit is :) It's the "emoji picker"!

I only glanced at the code, but the issue appears to be that every time you type a character, the "emoji picker" will scan backwards in the text to see if what you have typed is an emoji.

Yikes.
