   I don't know how they perceive the performance. I see 41 network requests. That's 2.1 MB of CSS over the wire, blocking rendering and hurting painting and loading speed. There's 400 KB of Tailwind, 87 KB of general CSS, plus another 200 KB of other general CSS. They need to embrace functional CSS properly. I'm sure they could have a single CSS file under 80 KB that renders everything.

      That's more than 4 times the size of Super Mario World, I believe. Always fascinating how little is done with so much these days.

         I mean I'm all for smaller CSS and faster web performance, but comparing the size / information density of the binary data of a 36 year old video game console with the verbose human readable text of a DSL used to control presentation is a bit unfair.

            Sure, I still find it fascinating.
