I’m not into #JavaScript, so maybe because of that I was laughing out loud when reading that blog post about npm dependencies. :) tl;dr: there’s no dependency hell in JS world, there’s just incompetency. in general it’s strange from my pov, when a developer wants to wrap a single function into a separate package. and I’m agree with the author in the point that such 1 to 10 strings functions as a packages do not make sense, when you always can write them by yourself. if you can’t, then you have to learn before trying to make more complex software. otherwise your project will be full of “magic” and “HeisenBugs”, which will turn your life into hell, when your users will ask you, why your application stopped working or doesn’t work as intended. low entrance level may be good for school projects, when a person learns how to program. but in case of real-world software I prefer to use something more robust.
