The Story of Rollup with Rich Harris CultRepo (formerly Honeypot) 2025-06-17 | In this video, we sit down with Rich Harris, the creator of Rollup, to hear the story behind one of the most influential tools in modern JavaScript development.Back in 2014, while working at The Guardian, Rich Harris saw a growing problem: JavaScript bundlers were shipping bloated code to mobile users. ES6 modules were still theoretical, and tools like Browserify were the norm. But a new idea formed: what if we could use ES modules as an authoring format to make code leaner, cleaner, and more modular?Whether you're deep into the JavaScript ecosystem or just curious about the tools powering your favorite libraries, this is a story worth hearing.Follow us:X: x.com/CultRepoBluesky: cultrepo.bsky.socialInstagram: www.instagram.com/cult.repo
