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

It's interesting as a subject but I dislike this as a presentation format.

This is the video equivalent of "this meeting could have been an email".

Also his voice and cadence are irritating, but I recognise that that's a personal gripe. Certainly an "old man shouts at cloud" moment but coked up youtuber energy isn't my jam.
