Fireship is consistently one of the best tutors on YouTube

Each package and its dependencies are stored in their own unique folder

If all those electron / web app haters could read, they'd be very upset right now.

This is completely different from electron. Nix dependencies will be shared if they share the same hash. Electron just blindly copies everything over every time.

Electron just copies over the browser engine required to run it, from a package management standpoint, assuming you're using nom or yarn, it functions the same as nix.
