"Mighty" is a startup that will sell you a subscription to stream your browser from a supercomputer instead of running it on your own PC. It is as r-slurred as it sounds.
The idea is that instead of making a browser with sane resource usage and forcing webdevs to learn to code they can allow the hellish cycle of Andy and Bill's law to continue for a few more decades while pocketing that sweet sweet subscription revenue. If that last sentence was gibberish to you click here.
Game developers, having one of the few jobs that require writing performant code, have always been jealous of webdevs for getting all the clout and money while churning out unusable garbage. Predictably, they start frothing with rage making tweets such as:
-Very hard to describe how embarrassing this is for everyone involved in the Web and, sort of, software more generally.https://t.co/eR4G9Sg8iK

-Running a browser to connect to the cloud to run a browser to connect to the cloud to retrieve the contents of a single 2D page to recompress and send back to the original browser is now "the future of computing". https://t.co/3DPs9tkQjF

This caused the startup founder, as well as investors, to get defensive. Culminating with the founder writing a poem about the haters:
Writing a song with someone for all the haters this past month. Sneak peek:

you always got something to say
I think you like the attention
helps you to not feel small
youโre watching, you sit and wait
every time that I get a mention
you wanna see me fall
More dunking:
-For the record, efficient 2D page display doesn't "appear simple" to me. It actually is simple, at least compared to other things we do. It only appears complicated to the web industry because it's the hardest graphics problem they've tried - and repeatedly failed - to solve. https://t.co/MrBfdV0Tie

โฆ but this is the most compact explanation I have seen.https://t.co/rlF0rrUGTl

The founder is still mad, passive aggressively replying with single emojis:

the only reason anything on the internet takes more than a second to load is because of incompetent web developers that should unironically be dragged out into the street, charged for their brainlet tier code, and shot in the head point blank several times with a 12 gauge. words can not describe how moronic webdevs are. there shouldn't be a single webpage in the last 15 years that takes more than a blink of the eye to load on even shitty internet (content like images not withstanding), but because these genuinely brain dead
tier silicon valley shitlords think that putting 50 gigabytes of JSON and other webcel tier bloat in their shitty fricking website is a good idea you still have people struggling to load it on devices that should have zero issues with it.
Web devs are the lowest of the low r-slurs that you scrape off the side of a nearby sidewalk, expose to the sun for a little while, and teach to code. they're subhuman trash that should be shot outside of minecraft.

see, i agree with you. browsers are plenty fast, it's just that the whole web platform was not built for the kind of websites we use nowadays and there are too many ways for a developer to frick up and make everything slow to down shit.
which btw validates the proposal of a cloud browser: "web devs are going to frick up, we run everything on a super computer and send you an optimized video stream"

"They're morons, so let's give them a platform to make their r-sluration more acceptable instead of them realizing they can't act like morons when they hit the wall harder than your average white woman"
if that's validation then you're a heckin valid xueen
Every web developer should hang themselves, and the ones that don't should be shot. The entire thing should be torn down. Frick Javascript, frick Jquery, Frick JSON, frick the absolute morons that abuse and bloat their shitty websites

Sorry you lack the self control to write clean code in a more permissive language, sweaty

If your web page is so shitty I need a 35 dollar subscription to use it I will just go to a different website. Hardware won't keep letting webdevs get away for it for much longer.
