Marcus Webb is a frontend developer and writer who spent years shipping product UI before turning that into full-time reporting. He writes about JavaScript performance, framework trade-offs, and the tools teams actually keep after the demo. His pieces stay on the decision: what is fast enough, what is too clever, and what you should not rewrite.
