Comment Comment by andai Great article, but I think these are all marginal.The main cause of bloat is not polyfills or atomic packages. The cause of bloat is bloat!I love this quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (author of the Little Prince):"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but nothing to take away."Most software is not written like that. It's not asking "how can we make this more elegant?" It's asking "what's the easiest way to add more stuff?"The answer is `npm i more-stuff`. parent andai 7 months ago
