Great post! So few devs worry about the number of server requests, and the total payload. I also like to have one request and bundle everything I need on load.

How much of your blog could fit in a floppy disk? Because I don't know if I'm surprised because you could fit many pages, or because this is not true for even a single standard web page anymore.

I bet if I tried really hard I could fit most of the interactive posts in. 1.44mb right?

Try it, you could even turn it into merch if that's something you like.
