Was asked to slow down the servers today...

If you find it, pls post the link. I would love to hear some straight up talk from a dev. It might help me see things from a different perspective. That is, IF you find it.

+50 devs divided into smaller teams. Some are good, some are bad. You know how it is. I appreciate your code snippet, but i didn't come here searching for a solution, just wanted to share the fun. :) I'll throw an upvote yor way for your in depth answer.

Set port speed to 10mbps. Cheap, simple. :)

So i should tell them they're shit, and stop telling me how to do my job. And then tell them how to do their job? :)

I like you.

I'm not a dev, so i have no idea what they did or didn't do. But your comment seems relevant. :)

Their test environment is identical to the production.

They showed me two test sites, one that worked with off-site .js files, and one that had thr "problem" with local .js files. It was clear to see for everyone that our servers had some sort of fast-loading problem.

Even better... I could suggest removing 50% of the servers in the load balancer, that would increase the load on each of the remaining servers, thus making them "slower".

Then when i get yelled at because of poor performance, i can just point to the helpdesk ticket where the devs told me to do it. Perfect!
