Same here. I turned off everything in superpowers except brainstorming
Making active decisions and weighing different alternatives improves my understanding, and I think the result is better, though that might just be because I understand it. Which is worth it on its own.

> We are destroying software trying to produce code as fast as possible, not as well designed as possible.
Legacy systems are born from rushing into implementation to feel productive rather than understanding the problem. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

It's also a matter of choice when consuming libraries like expressjs, which the linked article referes to.
For example, hapi (https://hapi.dev/), a feature comparable web server framework to express, has zero external dependecies.
There are a lot of responsible maintainers of great packages in the node community which keep dependencies to a minimum. It's up to the consumers to use and value them, not just default to the likes of express.
