I wrote about how Mutual reduced the size of our app by 60% with a few simple objective steps. I tried to detail our reasoning and approach for each step of the case.

Instead of implementing the whole of jQuery core, they could just add some of the features. It seems like that's already being done though (e.g. Element.querySelector()).
I use it for everything from development to web browsing and even gaming (I don't dual boot). Off the top of my head I can't think of any Windows software that I would use which does not have an equivalent or better FLOSS alternative.

The way many women in tech are treated is not acceptable, and I think that the situation is gradually getting better. That said, there is no reason why we shouldn't suggest that those who get pushed around should stand up for themselves in the time being, who knows, maybe it will speed up the process.
