I’m laughing at the idea of someone there seeing this article.

Organizes a meeting: “we look like clowns”. Technical person explains the package being big. Non technical person asks to remove, hoping for some kind of correction story. Marketing people looped in to maybe come up with a way to float this story.

Fix is evaluated for in a couple of sprints from now. A simpler html page is shipped for the sprint. Everybody high fives about one month from now for the simpler html page.

Non technical manager feels like they delivered something and the org is sluggish but they can get things done.

There was a whole thread the other day about a framework for smuggling these huge analytics bundles through content blockers.
