Ask HN: Why are developers so stingy with “rows per page”?
5 by quiffledwerg | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Why the heck am I usually allowed only 20 or 50 or maybe 100 rows per page with whatever I’m looking at? Is there some sort of shortage of CPU time? Why not all me to see 500 or 1000 rows per page so I can scroll through the things you’re trying to sell me without needing to press “next” every 5 seconds? Developers please, there’s no shortage of “rows”. Give us more.
