Why is modern software slow? Because Joe developer's solution to a given problem is to Google up a package that solves the problem, check the license, and then run:

   > { packageMgr } install { randomPkg }

Developer Andy, author of { randomPkg }, does the same thing. And so on, ad infinitum. You want to sum two numbers?

   > npm install node-plus

And the source code will be:

   import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promise'
   import { dirname, join } from 'node:path'
   import additionChecker from 'add-check'

   // redundant useless comments

   return function(n1, n2) {
       // redundant useless comments
       n1 + n2
   }
