Facebook release multiple times a day (or they did), so the browser cache is irreLevant.

As mentioned in the blogpost, they use code splitting and bundle hashing to actually maximize usage of browser cache.

If you have code splitting many chunks will remain the same.

Thanks siblings, for letting me know about FB’s use of code splitting and how it helps caching.

I would bet that js bundling and splitting might prevent that from being true?

Perhaps but thankfully not all webapps are like Facebook.
