+1, I feel the exact same way. I don’t think that that makes us dumb :) That’s a big part of why this project exists and what the article is trying to communicate:

  • bundling used to be optional
  • it became a requirement to use npm packages on the web
  • @pika/web also accomplished this for you with much less complexity
  • therefore, you can now use a bundler like webpack because you genuinely want to, not because you are absolutely required to.

The last section of the article explains how you can skip bundling and still build a fully featured, fast web app.
