  • You’re right, 1.5MiB isn’t a lot. No one is saying it is. The larger point that you are missing is:

    bloat_MiB = 0
    for (( discussion=1;discussion<101;discussion++ ));do
    echo “i noticed the dependencies grew by 1.5MiB, should we address that?”
    echo “1.5MiB isn’t a lot, let’s not think about it.”
    bloat += 1.5
    done
    echo “where did this bloat come from?”

    You’re focused on 1.5MiB and missing the larger discussion.

    My question is, are you engaging with the discussion or are you attempting to be right? Yes. One instance of 1.5MiB isn’t bloat, but it is a symptom of bloat.

    Users here are discussing a mindset of ignoring optimization, and many responses are missing the forest (bloat root cause) to focus on the trees (the 1.5MiB example used for demonstration purposes only). Ironically embodying the very mindset which contributes to the bloat root cause. It’s amusing, in a way.
