I'm a front-end developer with an interest in client-side development through the use of HTML, CSS & JavaScript. I'm an evangelist of HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, standardization & open-source. I don't design the sites you use, I make them work.
While it is great to know there is a little less code that needs to be written for my jQuery stuff to work, I have to wonder if 16 bytes is really a big deal. I am sure from a min/max approach, cutting even 1 byte out of code is huge, but what does removing 16 bytes do for load times?
While it may help people avoid errors in writing the initial code, does it have any perceivable impact on load times?
