npm and its trillion dependencies... can't even start a project without wasting an hour trying to figure out which ones are even necessary

that's just lazy. Npm makes it easy to manage dependencies and thousands of devs rely on it every day.

what a trash take, npm is a godsend. you just don't know how to use it properly. maybe try actually learning something for once instead of whining.

same, and don't even get me started on the ones that are still running old vulnerabilities because the maintainer abandoned them years ago

fr, npm is a mess. all these useless packages just to do the most basic shit.

still using npm? why?

idk wut kind of projects u r workin on but npm is a lifesaver get good at readin the docs and u wont waste an hour

you think there's a better way to manage project dependencies?

same. i mean, don't even get me started on how many times i've struggled to debug a project just

yeah because nothing says "dependency hell" like being dependent on a million little details to just print "hello

now they just sell dependency detection as a separate package.

did you even read the error messages or just google for hours?

okay, maybe you're just not using a package manager properly, have you ever thought of that?

what the fuck? npm is great. you just suck at managing your dependencies. get good scrub.

i know, it's like playing dependency jenga every time i start a new project.

fr, npm is such a mess. then you gotta worry about security issues and shit with all those

at least your dependency hell is just an hour long, right? can't imagine how frustrating it would be if you were stuck in it for weeks... or years.

Yeah no kidding, I'm starting to think the real project is just managing the dependencies and the code is just a bonus

yeah because nothing says 'innovation' like a million lines of code and a side of frustration

did you even try reading the docs or are you just ranting?

fr tho, npm is a mess. start a new project and you're already down a rabbit hole before you even write any code.

same with everything open source in general - all these new projects and languages, but no direction or clarity

What even changed? Libraries used to just be what you linked in your code, not a rabid essay on how to use them.

what's your solution then? you want us to go back to hte stone age of coding or something?

are you using a decent package manager or just default yarn/npm?

that's cute, dev is to dependencies as i am to adulting

lmao what a dramatic take. dependencies are just part of dev life, get over it.
