The Node Modules Backpacking Adventure

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of Node.js! Your tiny 300kb app that probably just displays "Hello World" is forced to drag around a 12GB monstrosity of node_modules like some sort of digital pack mule! 💀 It's the modern developer's nightmare - creating something sleek and elegant only to have it CRUSHED under the weight of seventeen thousand dependencies you didn't even know you needed! Your poor little app is literally GASPING for air under all those packages that do things you could probably write yourself in 10 lines of code!

The 500KB CSS Catastrophe

The eternal frontend struggle in three acts: Act 1: Your website and performance are perfectly balanced on the seesaw. Life is good. Act 2: "Let me just add this tiny CSS library that saves three lines of code." *Balance shifts slightly* Act 3: *500KB later* Your website is now crushing performance into the stratosphere while the hand of fate (probably your project manager) reaches in to fix the disaster. And this, friends, is why we can't have nice things in web development. Those "lightweight" libraries are the gateway drug to bundle bloat.
