Whilst this is a post of derision, I do think people only know the highest level abstraction mankind can accomplish these days. It's embarrassing really. There is elegance in simplicity.

Please continue to take the piss out of it :)

I actually knocked up a single new static error page for our main web application a few weeks ago in 620 bytes including inline css (quite big if you ask me). It had no dependencies. My coworkers were actually astounded that it was so small!?!?!

Go figure!

For some reason seeing a size expressed in bytes makes it seem small. Saying 620 characters sounds much more reasonable.

It was UTF8 so no guarantee about character versus byte size.
