Yeah, I had Claude spend a lot of time optimizing a JS bundling config (as a quite senior frontend) and it started some things that looked insanely promising, which a newer FE dev would be thrilled about.

I later realized it sped up the metric I'd asked about (build time) at the cost of all users downloading like 100x the amount of JS.
