You start your day thinking "I'll just tweak this button color real quick." Two hours later, you've somehow installed 47 dependencies, each one pulling in 200 more of its "friends," and your node_modules folder has achieved sentience and is now larger than the entire Windows operating system. That one "lightweight" color picker library? Yeah, it needed React, three different date formatters, and something called "left-pad-2-electric-boogaloo." Your project went from 50MB to 850MB, your build time tripled, and you're pretty sure one of those packages is just someone's cryptocurrency miner. But hey, the button is now #3B82F6 instead of #2563EB, so totally worth burning down the entire city for it.
