Alex it’s somehow strangely reassuring that amidst all this panic and uncertainty you are steadfastly still posting about JavaScript bundle sizes.
As an investor, I cannot express how deeply distressed it makes me to hear of founders who imagine their market is their set of friends/families/colleagues. It's OPP, and those people are ~not drilled into what opens doors, *but your effing job is to see what they don't*

Most startups don’t fail because of overloaded JS bundles. They fail because they market doesn’t want it. It’s far more bubble-y to tie failure of a startup to its _bundle size_ than to actually choose some overload framework. That’s the irony you don’t see. doubly as an investor

Most startups are unable to attribute failure to any specific cause. Bundle sizes are only a measure of "how much do you punch potential customers before they can access your [world changing] service". Some are worth a long gauntlet!

So you're right, and if the meta point is "most startups deserve to die, not least of all because they had no strategy and no way to test most of the market for fit"...ok. But it's still sad.

I think you are arguing with yourself here. You know that isn’t what I mean.

I don’t buy you think that is what I think. Technology companies start small and focused. Are you really going to try and debate that?

Technology companies start trying to solve a problem the best possible way. When you're to ~10 hc, a lot of your trajectory is set. It's the founders job to keep the situation malleable and cast the P/M-fit net wide. Everyone else is likely to follow those leads.
