Updating angular and npm/node/whatever the fuck is the most difficult and convoluted thing ever

Web devs, you deserve better than this awful piece of shit cable mess of a fucking "framework" or whatever the fuck this retarded shit is meant to be

The only time I could see someone sanely use Angular is when they are trying to:

A) migrate towards more of a web app FE from a legacy system or
B) create a massive web app that will unavoidably be thousands of earbuds tied into knots

Otherwise, yeah you almost have to constantly update and stay on top of updating shit or else it will leave you behind - especially with all the little npm modules. This is why we commit package-lock.json in case of rollback. Honestly, the less node modules you have the better, as the tree structure of deps only can further destroy performance the more you add.

I dunno about Angular these days but when it comes to npm I guess the defense is that all package manager before it npm also sucked. And despite solutions like Deno intending to simplify dependency management - the urge to migrate seems quite low. As many prefer a well used system that they know the quirks of, rather than switching to something new.
