It was a genuine question. I’ve implemented infinite scrolling in HTMX and it’s quite easy, another commenter posted an example from the HTMX docs and it’s a couple of lines of html.
It doesn't do such thing at all, unless you think it's acceptable to load EVERYTHING in HTML, hide it, and do front-end search. Which would be completely nuts to do for things where infinite scroll is used.
It's a blatant lie and bullshit. A github MR can be 5Mb size and my laptop has 64Gb RAM (swappable 3x of that to SSD if really needed). There's NO need for progressive loading there.
Another example is filtered goods at the local electronics store webfront. Progressive loading without ability to go directly to page 7 wastes my time if I know that what I need is there as each load of 10 items takes time. But of course this pattern increases some shitty OKR in time-spent-on-website. Hate this.
