Npm Install Is Object

1 day ago 86.3K views 0 shares

Oh. My. God. The absolute DRAMA of JavaScript developers! 🙄 Instead of writing a simple function themselves, they'll drag in 47 BAJILLION npm packages like SpongeBob hauling that ridiculous mountain of presents! Why write 10 lines of code when you can install an entire ecosystem with 9,427 dependencies that'll break in six months? The shopping cart is literally SCREAMING under the weight of all those unnecessary packages! Meanwhile, the function they needed could've been written faster than it takes to type "npm install massive-overkill-package-for-simple-task"! It's the developer equivalent of buying an entire Home Depot to hang a single picture frame!

Content You're a bunch of node.js hipsters that just HAVE to install everything you read on Hacker News! But Docker allows us to run our applications anywhere! Do you hear yourself? Why do we need docker if we're running a VM? A container inside a container!!!

The Node_Modules Backpacking Adventure

The eternal struggle of modern web development: Your actual app code is a measly 300kb, but somehow you're lugging around 12GB of node_modules like some kind of digital pack mule. Nothing says "efficient coding" like needing 40,000x more space for dependencies than your actual product. And we wonder why our laptops sound like they're preparing for takeoff every time we run npm install .

Npm Install Malware: The Self-Destructive Curiosity

Ah, the JavaScript ecosystem's most dedicated users - people who literally type "npm install malware" and hit enter. The package has 12 weekly downloads, was last updated 9 years ago, and somehow still claims 12 victims weekly. The best part? It's ISC licensed, so you're legally permitted to destroy your own system! How thoughtful! I'm torn between admiring these developers' curiosity and questioning their survival instincts. It's like watching someone lick a frozen pole "just to see what happens" - except with their production servers.

When you need to check if a number is odd, but writing n % 2 !== 0 is too mainstream, so you create a 1.3M downloads/month npm package that emails Google and Reddit support to ask them. The function has 50 lines of code to send emails, parse responses, and return a Promise, when it could be a one-liner. Modern JavaScript development in its purest form - why solve a problem in 1 line when you can create an entire microservice ecosystem?

The Programmer's Confidence Curve

The eternal programmer journey in one graph! First, you install Node.js and suddenly you're a "full-stack developer" conquering Mount Stupid with unearned confidence. Then reality hits—your app crashes in production, your dependencies break, and you discover there are 47 JavaScript frameworks you've never heard of. Welcome to the Valley of Despair! Eventually, you start climbing that Slope of Enlightenment, learning that semicolons aren't optional (fight me), and that StackOverflow isn't just a website but a lifestyle. If you survive long enough, you might reach the Plateau of Sustainability, where you finally admit that no one—absolutely no one—understands webpack configs.

Modern Frontend Stack

Backend developers live in a simpler world. Need to print "Hello World"? That's like 3 lines of code in most languages. But then they peek over at the frontend React ecosystem and witness the horror... To build a basic React app in 2023, you need: Node.js, npm/yarn/pnpm, webpack/vite/parcel, babel, ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, a state management library, a CSS framework, a component library, testing tools, and probably 5 more dependencies just to display those magical words on screen. The face on the right perfectly captures that moment of existential dread when a backend dev realizes the npm install is still running after 5 minutes just to render two words. Pure frontend chaos.

Is-Thirteen: The NPM Package We Deserve

The modern JavaScript ecosystem in its full glory! Someone actually created an entire npm package that does nothing but check if a number equals 13. That's it. That's the whole package. The reaction face says it all - that perfect mix of disappointment and existential dread when you realize people are installing a dependency with its own dependencies just to replace x === 13 . And the best part? This isn't even a joke. There are thousands of these micro-packages clogging up the JavaScript ecosystem. Next week: "left-pad-but-only-on-tuesdays" with 3 million weekly downloads.

Say Good Morning To The JavaScript Ecosystem

Opening the door to the JavaScript ecosystem feels like unleashing a Lovecraftian horror of frameworks, libraries, and build tools. That innocent "Good morning!" quickly turns into an existential crisis when you realize you're facing a monster with React, Angular, Vue, Node, Webpack, and about 47 other dependencies you'll need to configure before lunch. The beast's many tentacles represent the endless rabbit holes of package management hell. And the best part? By tomorrow morning, half of those logos will be deprecated.

The Evolution Of Dependency Management Excuses

The evolution of dependency management excuses is just *chef's kiss*. First we pretend it's a calculated technical decision. Then we admit we're just lazy. But that final panel? Pure gold. "LLMs don't understand it yet" is the new "works on my machine." Nothing like blaming AI for your technical debt while your package.json looks like a digital archaeological dig site. Meanwhile, your junior dev is quietly running "npm audit fix" in production.
