Which isn’t an excuse anymore. UI coding isn’t that hard; if someone can’t do it, well, Claude certainly can.

I'm fine with that, but keeping some consideration to optimization should still be something, even in environments when constraints are low. The problem is when no-one cares and includes 4 versions of jquery in their app so that they don't have to do const $=document.getElementById, everything grows to weigh 1Gb, use 1Gb of ram and 10% of your CPU, and your system is as sluggish nowadays (or even more) than it was 10y ago, with 10x the ram and processing power.
