From this article, I’ve learned about an excellent (for our times) 10k Apart competition:
With so much of an emphasis on front-end frameworks and JavaScript runtimes, it’s time to get back to basics—back to optimizing every little byte like your life depends on it and ensuring your site can work, no matter what.

Think you’ve got what it takes? You have until September 30th.
I can’t wait to see the submissions and all the ways to squeeze the awesomeness of the modern web into just 10 kilobytes. This reminds me of the Perl Golf posts over at PerlMonks and Assembly PC 64K Intro from my childhood early days (here are some examples).
