I'm Addy Osmani, Ask Me Anything!

My name is Addy and I’m an engineering lead on the Chrome team at Google leading Developer Experience. We do this through Chrome developer tools, web standards, working with sites & frameworks in the ecosystem and through tools like Lighthouse and Workbox. I give talks about speed and have written books like Learning JavaScript Design Patterns and Essential Image Optimization. I am excited about Developer Experience and how personal software via AI might democratize software development.

To learn more, you can find me on Twitter at @addyosmani

I don't know if this thread is still active, but just wondering: what are your thoughts on webassembly now (July 2019)?

My team (the majority of whom are more comfortable with C# and .NET) is really pushing to use Blazor, and I'm wondering if it's too early to adopt (development will start soon, but the first release will not be until 2020 Q1 likely), and also whether a framework like Vue.js would be a better option. I realize there's some subjectivity here and needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis, but just throwing out these questions for your general thoughts.

What do you think about the grown popularity of "Micro Frontends"? The idea of it seems to be bring microservices architecture to the frontend, do you think it can be worth? What about the implications for performance, can it be done without destroy the user experience?
