The 'one weird trick' could've been spotted in a graphical bundle analyser. But are they not caching npm packages somewhere, seems like an awful waste downloading from the npm registry over and over? I would think it would be parsing four different versions of the AWS sdk that was so slow.

Pondering this question across every organization in the world and the countless opportunities for caching leads to dark places. Would be interesting to see CDN usage for Linux distributions pre and post docker builds becoming popular.
