INSANELY LIGHTWEIGHT

For example, the new powder.design WordPress theme from Brian Gardner is only a few kilobytes kb!!

As a personal aesthetic, always optimize for insanely lightweight. Titanium, carbon fiber, the lightest thing possible.

When comparing products, don’t compare power, simply compare weight.

For example, the best iPhone is the lightest and newest one — iPhone SE, the best iPad is the lightest one, and also the best MacBook laptop is the lightest one.

For camera, the lightest camera. RICOH GR 3X.

Also, better to get the lightest thing, with less durability, like carbon fiber, than get the heavier thing, which is more durable but heavier.
