Well, I might wake up in five years and decide that I can use a 1MB library,
but when I woke up this morning, I was glad I'm using 25K jQuery. And not
only because it's optimized for small footprint, but also because it's easy
to use.

This is interesting in the context of jQuery's core optimization vs. larger,
less-optimized libraries:
-----
The developers who put a lot of effort into optimizing things and making
them tight and fast will wake up to discover that effort was, more or less,
wasted, or, at the very least, you could say that it “conferred no long term
competitive advantage,” if you’re the kind of person who talks like an
economist.
