  1. Hey thanks for the article. In the last part about CSS free shaking, shouldn’t it be `sideEffects: false` instead?

    Cheers,

    1. Hi, Kumar here. I checked the article & scraped the internet about this, I can confirm it should be `sideEffects: true`.

      Though, would love to know why you think it should be `false` instead. Thank you so much for reading, love the feedback!
