There is a clever way: if you have to hit the network to make many requests for tiny data, you could batch the many small requests into a few larger requests , and in that response include all data you need for the tiny requests. The bro

Bundling is still required to avoid HTTP waterfall that would ensure if you load raw ES modules from the browser. A real-world frontend codebase will include 100-1000+ files (via transitive dependencies), and you do not want 100+ sequential

The difference from Doorkee, or any matchmaking service, is that they do not guarantee to pay your rent for six months if a) they can't find someone within a month or b) your landlord doesn't like them. This bet is highly asymmetr
