Keep a sense of scale. 30 KiB is small. If all the libraries you use add up to less than 50 KiB, then really, no one will notice. Think of a "modern best-practices" site that uses a big framework and some big addons and feature libraries, and ends up with like 500 KiB of JS. Some end up with megabytes! That's crazy. I think these developers don't have a sense of scale. They probably think I promote premature-optimization, that they're good engineers who follow best practices and use best-in-class tools and techniques ... but they don't have a sense of scale to see how the results are not reasonable. 30 KiB is small. 100 KiB total is probably quite OK. 500 KiB is very fat. 2 MiB is crazy town. Sense of scale :)
