Quoting the description of the video: “A recent talk I gave about JavaScript bundlers. It’s a bit of a history lesson, and along the way I tried to introduce what bundlers are, why you’d use one, what problems they solve, dived into how they work internally, features like code splitting and tree shaking, and discussed the vast landscape of JavaScript and web tooling out there today.”
