Spent 3 years rendering everything at 300 DPI for web use before a senior designer laughed at me

I was working on this big branding project for a local coffee shop in Portland and sent over these massive PNG files. The guy I was sharing the drive with just stared at me and said 'why are these files 50 megabytes each.' I had no idea web resolution is 72 DPI. Nobody tells you this stuff in school. Has anyone else had a moment where you realized you were making extra work for no reason?

Yeah, the senior designer thing happens to a lot of us, that's rough.

Nah, 300 DPI makes your images look way sharper on retina displays though.
