Can we agree that, in 2018, human-readable "View Source" is a constraint the web can discard? I benefitted from "View Source" too, but today we have an embarrassment of resources and open source examples I would have killed for as a kid.

How do you manage to use minifiers, then?

Rarely, that’s how. Why do you use them? For performance or security or IP protection? Have you tested the assumption that uglifying helps any of that?

Um yeah I have indeed tested - turns out minifiers do usually same some bandwidth, even with gzip.

Is it the minifying or the combining that saves time? It’s been several years since I ran my own tests but I found that glomming files together helps a lot on initial uncached load time but not after, and minifying/obscuring is a wash performance-wise.

Bundling and minifying are orthogonal. No matter how you bundle, once they reach a certain size of course minifying will save some bandwidth.

If you want to write comments in your code, minifying will help in ways that gzip cannot. And you should write comments in your code.

You can tell how often I write comments in my code by how readily I realized that :P

Presumably you use libraries or frameworks that are heavily commented, though.

Yeah, agree. Remember I'm the one who just puts minifying in my app pipeline always, automatically :)
