I'm not sure i agree with Luke on everything, or even that his tone is always conductive to productive discussion, but there is definitely a lot of merit in creating small and fast websites without any unnecessary bloat nowadays.
The "Website Obesity Crisis" presentation also has stuck with me ever since i ran into it: https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm

An arbitrarily grabbed version from the Internet Archive looks ok: http://web.archive.org/web/20180316071757/https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20180316071757/https://idlewords....
