How often is bundling happening relative to loading the bundle that 5 seconds of savings is pertinent?

There's this fairly recent notion that speed rules everything. Perhaps maintainability and releasing non-alpha quality software could have a day or two in the sun as well?



On a large team, it happens quite often in the CI infrastructure, as well as testing on local machines.

Recent? I'd say it's very old, then got outdated as everyone moved to dynamic slow languages like Ruby (for Rails), Python (Django) and JS because of their perceived productivity improvements over typed languages like Java around 15 years ago. The pendulum is simply swinging in the other direction now.
