me: why the hell is this "unified bundle" 3MB (unzipped)?

@threetonesun @konnorrogers @paulshryock A lot of managers I interact with talk about "scale" and "hiring" and "monoliths" like this, and what they really mean is "we don't want to care".

Even when outstanding people are offered up on a platter, they turn them down because of the dogma. "The scary monolith" is code for "something I won't get credit for spending huge amounts to replace".

Performance is about mastery, and a lot of folks just don't want to bother. We should call it what it is.
