In this podcast, Tracy Lee (@ladyleet) and Ben Lesh (@benlesh) sit down with Maximiliano Firtman (@firt) and discuss how performance in development is becoming required for development on the web and mobile, and the implications for not making sure performance is a part of your product strategy. They talk about what’s next after Lighthouse in a developer’s web performance journey, other tools such as Microsoft's webhint, and the new core web vitals that Google has recently published. Plus, they explore the importance (or lack thereof these days) of PWAs and how that is changing on mobile platforms.
