We discuss: - The goals and vision behind e18e - What’s slowing down the JS ecosystem - Why performance work is often invisible—and how to fix that - The importance of community coordination in open source - How developers can get involved in improving the packages they rely on If you care about build times, bundle sizes, and the health of the JavaScript ecosystem, this episode is for you.
