The worst part about all these node modules is the little small silly ones that do something really inane - like to just get the current year.

I said the same thing about some ruby gems years ago and thankfully that’s a little bit sane now.

I don’t use JS that often. But recently I looked at the dependencies for some library I was using and I was astonished at the literally hundreds of tiny modules that were being used.

And it gets even worse - those tiny little modules have their dependencies too.

Amazing.
