Basically it was a two liner dependency and how npm works it doesn’t cache and always downloads all dependencies fresh. This lead to 440GB/Month of traffic in a lage project.

Instead of removing a dependency we should just accept that the entire JS ecosystem is a total ****show and start over

Not just that, but the standard library and core language semantics like equality are also a total shit show.

Just use pnpm instead of npm
