| > And you should still be minifying your CSS and JS We do, as the post you replied to said. > Doesn't matter how much you dance around it, this wasn't a good architectural decision, nor is it standard industry practice. Just because you happen to believe something doesn't make it "standard industry practice." Repeating the same unsupported claims with extra conviction doesn't make for an argument (persuasive or otherwise). Semantic versioning and versioning libraries/"grouped by version" is very much standard, in fact the industry's most popular CDN (by far) does exactly that: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery/ https://cdnjs.com/libraries/angular.js Your "solution" solves only one issue well: cache busting. Versioned directories solve that issue but also solve other issues (deployment/human understanding/grouping associated resources together). I'm not sure you yourself even know why you believe this. You just seem to have read WebPack's docs, decided that's how it should work, and view it as a one size fits all solution to completely unrelated problems (i.e. it isn't an architectural/organizational answer, it is a technological one for cache busting, thus irrelevant to the topic). If you have anything of substance to add, by all means, but so far your post are strong in conviction and weak in justification (technical or organizational). You keep arguing from authority, but forgot to say who the authority is meant to be. |
