Just a heads-up, this is from 2012.

I'm baffled at the amount of stuff we put in a webpage nowadays. A simple page I developed the backend for, that shows a filter on the left and results on the right came to weight around 2.87 MB. 2.27 of those are libraries!

I mean, sure, they help with development. But I think we're tipping the equilibrium in the wrong direction.
