| ▲ | latchkey 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You're not really answering the question. That's the bundle size, not the amount of code in the project. I've done nothing to try to optimize the bundle size, but I suspect that a lot of it has to do with some of the third party dependencies like mermaid. | | |
| ▲ | wesz an hour ago | parent [-] | | Well, i downloaded firefox extension and checked the size of only *.js files without any additional assests - and it's 2 megabytes. Mermaid is around 800kb, so it still leaves over 1 megabyte of javascript. The amount of abstraction alone for the project of this scope makes me cringe. You introduce unnecessary complexity. | | |
| ▲ | 59nadir 24 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | In all fairness, 30+ years of web development is exactly what would convince you that shipping 1+ MB of JS is fine, no? I'm not really kidding... Web development is where all of the worst practices in programming thrive and come from. Some of them are spending minutes (sometimes 10+ minutes) compiling/"building" web pages before they "deploy" them, and so on. 30+ years in web development is what you say at the support group to explain why you're there, not to convince people you've developed good taste and reasonable sensibilities. | | |

| ▲ | 59nadir 12 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I can assure that it's not. What makes you think I'd waste my time writing HackerNews comments using LLMs? Take a look at my post history and tell me honestly that you believe that to be the case. No, I just used a phrasing that reminded you of LLMs and that's it. Funnily enough it also has no real bearing on my argument; your 30+ years of web development didn't stop you from shipping more than a MB of JS to add some basic features to HackerNews [because LLMs wrote everything for you]. "Every accusation is a confession" and all that... |
