The web isn't near as fast moving as you imply it is.
Website have always been to big. We've been using huge Javascript libraries for the last ten years to add minor functionality.
Even using Flash for websites was a common standard!
The problem is that speed and usability are almost always considered less important than flashy animations and other bullshit that no end user actually wants.
I think this post will be relevant for years to come. I don't think web developers will ever learn.
