Me trying to use webpack for the first time to create a bundle of the Monaco Editor:

```
webpack 5.76.1 compiled with 97 errors and 1 warning in 36838 ms
```

Also me, trying to check the size on disk:

```
$ du -csh node_modules/
138M node_modules/
138M total
```

My fellow frontend developers, what have you done?

Maybe I’m just getting lazier and dumber but I’m finding less and less reason to invest time into component based CSS libraries like tailwind. I feel like 90 percent of what I need can be covered by this new wave of semantic css libraries. Why do I need 5 divs just to make a basic responsive body container when something like Pico allows me to do it with one ?

And I’ll admit Pico specifically doesn’t have that many components.

We should be striving for writing less more human readable code ! I don’t see how or why tailwind became the standard and “we are like yeah this great ! “
