@slightlyoff @konnorrogers @paulshryock I’ve worked on a site like this and it did scale better than the monolith that existed before it. Not to mention a lot of work went into the user flow so most users rarely saw more than one slice of those pages anyway.

Could they have built something better? Sure. Was an e-commerce site going to attract leadership that would drive things that way and hire the talent to do so? Probably not.
