Everyone who's used NPM in production for a not-insignificant amount of time has realized just how bad nodejs dependency hell can be. Unfortunately, webdev-du-jour has decided pulling in a hundred npm packages is better than writing a few hundred lines of code.
I keep hoping things like [1] are a joke but I'm starting to suspect they're not.
I'm sorry that my framework and bundler are using so many packages. Lemme just quickly install Android Studio and download a few gigabyte to develop and build my application. Ah yikes I'm on a different version, need to redownload now.
At least Android Studio doesn't break when you try to deploy it a few months down the line (with package lock), with the exact same version, because a dependency of a dependency of a dependency made an unreviewed and untested "security fix" that caused a regression.
