Last talk of Day 1 - Complex design for stupid people by Chris Kolb An amazing take on the topic. Embrace your naivety when the situation is complex. Throwing quotes like: “A complex system that works it was a simple system that worked” or "Build, (re)iterate with your users feedback and ship it!"

Just built Vue's SFC playground (~17mb JS output before gzip) using the latest continuous release of rolldown-powered-vite. It's a drop-in replacement. Dev and prod work exactly the same, and the prod build went from 8.51s to 2.95s (~3x speedup) with zero code changes.
