Actually this is one of the upsides of web development: Since every line contributes to the file size of your software and therefore to the loading time there is a motivation for keeping the code base small.
Sadly, there are many projects out there which obviously failed to reach this target at some point.
- aequitas 6y agoThis can also go suprisingly wrong when management decides code size is the performance metric needed to improve the site and hires a "performance engineer" who abolishes all structure and abstraction in the code, making it near-impossible to debug and maintain. But at least it runs fast.
- arendtio 6y agoTrue, the quest to reach a small file size can also lead to various down-sides. Cryptic architectures and weird code are just two popular symptoms.
