Thanks for sharing this post: https://tonsky.me/blog/js-bloat/
In the last 6 months, as I stepped into the ‘Open for consulting as a freelancer’ mode, my experments with building applications has lead me to the same conclusion.
Most applications that are built have too much ‘generic’ frameworks that want to do everything, and serve everyone. That results in bloat.
For most applications, that is not the right solution. Small and Simple is the right place to be in tech.
I recently did a series on my blog ( blog.mandraketech.in ) about building a server side Java web app that comes with no frameworks, or linraries. And, in comparison to a starter Spring app being 21mb ( fat jar ), my application was 33kb.
Its time to go back to basics. If anyone wants their team to be able to ask these questions(upskill sessions), or want evaluations done, do reach out.
