Jeepers, how does this even happen? I've been developing a fairly complex app with Nuxt, Apollo client, and PrimeVue, and paid no attention to size whatsoever. Yet the most complex page in the app with the most module dependencies loads only 3.8 megs, and that's not even a minified build. Same page from the Nuxt dev server throws 24.4M at me, but I'm pretty sure it's pre-loading everything. Do the big players just not do any code splitting at all? On the other hand, node_modules weighs in at 601M. Sure I've got space to burn on the dev box, but that's reason #1 I'm not doing yarn zero-install and stuffing all that into the repo.
