Reflections of an “Old” Programmer

The Webpack story is interesting because its author isn't (well, wasn't) even a JS developer in his day job or was part of the JS community. I don't hate Webpack but I really have no idea where it came from. Browserify was made by one of Node's ecosystem top contributors, so at least that makes sense.

And webpack's documentation is the spawn of Satan. Going outside the typical use cases is downright impossible. While it has the widest feature set out there, it's incredibly difficult to believe in its reliability. That said, since you can always QA your bundle, reliability isn't as much of an issue I guess...

An insult to our Master, Satan would never create something so awful :P

FWIW webpack's docs are getting much better for v2
