I prefer working with Spring or .NET 8 that don’t have this madness.

With every day at my job, I continue to hate the JavaScript ecosystem more and more

[the-developer-]

Wow, I recently had to manually clear over 30GB of node modules from ancient projects. Thiis is super useful.

Rust dev, single project with +-20 deps sitting with a target directory of 14G

One of the reasons why I don't use node anymore, golang with it's standard library is waaay better

That's what I really don't like in the NPM ecosystem. Tons of tiny libraries. Many-many redundant ones. And a mess of dependency tree - or even graph. The dotnet library ecosystem is much slimmer - and not only because Microsoft tends to have one for everything under its wings. But that contributes to it as well. And this still does not kill the community constructions. By far. Maybe a centralized core library management board would be needed in the JS universe as well. Elevating the adoption of the more mature libraries and streamlining the dependencies between them. Or even introducing a layer of common abstraction for specific tasks. Just thinking....

She is so beautiful and has a bigger place in my heart bigger than Node Modules

[shreehari]

It’s just dumb that JavaScript needs to have node modules for every project, why can’t it do globally only for once 🤦🏻‍♂️

[StingSting]

You didn’t really explain why node_modules is so big, but how to save space.. I hate that

[thelaiq]

Why not delete all of them and redownload them as needed

Is 2024, who is even using npm or yarn anymore, are there really people that stuck in the stone age?!
