Node Modules: The Backpack That Ate Your Hard Drive

Writing a tiny 50KB app in Node.js that somehow requires hauling around 12GB of node_modules is the modern equivalent of bringing a nuclear warhead to a knife fight. Nothing says "efficient development" like needing an extra hard drive just to store your dependencies. And yet we all just accept this madness like it's completely normal.

It's the coding equivalent of someone watching over your shoulder as you write and criticizing each letter before you've finished the word. The mental response is always the same—a frustrated "Will you shut up man" while you're still in the middle of your thought process. The best part? You were totally going to use that variable... eventually... probably.
