skeleton loaders are a duct-tape visual workaround that cover up slow and poorly designed backends
from my experience, every web app I've used that has skeleton loaders are bloated beyond comprehension and take at least 3000ms to load the actual data

If you refuse to do that, watch me surpass you in the software race you claim I'm "falling behind" in
