I feel like people who program in JavaScript or whose projects pull megabytes of dependencies, don’t get a moral right to complain about this. You guys just sit and calm down this time, you already said what you could.

Your app takes 20 seconds to load, pulling 50 megabytes of minified JS. Your backend is a mess of 20 Rust microservices, 300 megabytes docker image each.

Nobody has actually been reading and understanding code in your org for the past 15 years. And nobody has ever been responsible, everybody has just been job hopping for a 15% total comp bump.

Now the secret is out.
