On my microwave you can keep pressing the "start" button to add 30 seconds, but if you press it too many times in quick succession it ignores some of your presses.

My oven requires you to use button presses to set the desired temperature, but if you press it too many times in quick succession it ignores some of your presses.

My car has button presses to turn heating/aircon/blowers/etc. on/off but if you press 2 of them in quick succession it only registers the first one even though they're plainly separate buttons.

It is very frustrating to find that even physical real-world buttons nowadays are controlled by computers with incredibly poor debounce code, or something, so that real buttons now are just as janky as software buttons.

Laggy experience (Safari, M3 air) talking about laggy experiences. I suspect the needlessly ornate demo controls (scaling, opacity, animation) contributing this -- playing with them has animation jank. Probably something up with the typography too. Bizarre choice considering the subject matter. Scrolling is also not great.

> In a same way, I think often delight is absence of delight. In places and apps that welcome fast fingers, delight can be abstaining from a transition or something cute but deathly. Pushing for delight of the right kind can mean long fights with frameworks to reduce even one-frame delays,

Highlighting this quote happened at very low fps. This is just a document. Confusing.
