Almost 800MB of dependencies just to download the damn npm, sometimes I wonder if some part of the software developement world is going crazy

    You sir, have opened the gates of hell.
    Why do people fail to understand that Node is not a stable environment to build with, let alone storage freindly.

    "But storage is cheap"
    Until the software weighs more then a new car in costs.

    Maybe we can finally be free from it once WebAssembly gets popular... As they told us it will be 10 years ago.

    Node and it's package framework has always puzzled me.

    Doesn't it break all sensible rules to have each and every application depending on hundreds of packages written and maintained by a wast number of independent people and organizations, before you even start building your business logic? Last time I checked, a "create react app" boiler plate started off with over 700 packages.

    What happened there?!!

    Oh, you see, it's totally fine, as long as you don't try to pad left.

    @msdsk Fair enough, luckily only a drunk brain damaged raging LUNATIC would attempt such an operation anyway.
