Some notes on using esbuild
> “webpack” which I will not try to explain much because I don’t understand it, I think it’s a system with a million plugins that does a million things<p>Is webpack really considered such a difficult beast? I was an early adopter of TypeScript so I think I started with grunt, then gulp, then finally webpack 3, 4 and now 5.<p>I mean it's not my main job or anything, and I don't really enjoy configuring things but spending a handful of days reading the docs once a year or whatever is not really a problem. I have a couple of files, one for local one for production. About 50-70 lines each and considering it is compiling typescript, linting, minifying, scss, testing and so on... I find I get a lot of bang for my buck. It's not like the previous tooling was really any easier to deal with.<p>The production build takes about 50 seconds, and the local build takes about 3 seconds. It's honestly the least of my problems.
