This is an interesting and thorough response, and I liked reading it, but GP was talking about internal, captive-audience stuff. Box is an app you sell. B2B, yes, not B2C, so your users are “enterprise.” But it’s still a product that competes with others and that seems very unrelated to GP’s point.

In that case, who is concerned with page size for those apps? The apps with bundle sizes that people complain about are almost exclusively from third parties. I've worked on some big internal apps, and almost none of them have payloads big enough to notice. If it ain't broken don't fix it.

> who is concerned with page size for those apps?

That was kind of their point: No one is, so why bother with a lot of effort?

> The apps with bundle sizes that people complain about are almost exclusively from third parties.

Right, like Box. Not the internal apps they were referring to.

> I've worked on some big internal apps, and almost none of them have payloads big enough to notice.

That echoes my own experience.

I think you’re agreeing with the person you responded to. It was just that Box wasn’t the kind of app they were talking about. All I was saying was that your response, while interesting, was not 100% relevant. It was still interesting, though!
