Love the "oh no no" about "Treats QA like a gatekeeper"

There is a nice presentation at the bottom with some code examples, too.

I have to admit, I like seeing a Lord of the Rings ring in a Beyonce clip.

It's fun to hear what worked and what didn't for complex web rendering. It would be interesting to see some graphs or numbers behind the performance gotchas listed in the article.
