node_modules Memes

Perfectly Balanced JavaScript

Perfectly Balanced JavaScript
Ah, the modern JavaScript ecosystem in a nutshell. Need to optimize your project? Just delete half of it randomly! The beauty of Thanos.js is that it solves the bloated node_modules problem with the same elegant solution Thanos had for universe overpopulation. Perfectly balanced, as all git repositories should be. The real joke is that for a split second, some developers probably thought "hmm, that might actually work better than the 47 dependencies I'm currently using to center a div."

Javascript Junkies

Javascript Junkies
That poor Vanilla JS developer surrounded by framework fanatics in the JavaScript pool party! The lone dev just trying to write clean, native code while everyone points and judges like he brought a flip phone to an iPhone convention. Framework zealots never miss a chance to evangelize their library of choice, while vanilla devs are left explaining why they don't need 300MB of node_modules to render a button. The irony? That vanilla JS dev probably understands the language better than all the framework swimmers combined!

The Dependency Tower Of Doom

The Dependency Tower Of Doom
The power outlet Jenga tower of doom – the perfect metaphor for modern development! You start with a "tiny project" that somehow requires npm installing half the internet. Next thing you know, you're daisy-chaining power adapters like some mad electrical engineer because your "simple app" now depends on 17 frameworks, 42 libraries, and that one obscure package maintained by a mysterious developer who might actually be a cat. The best part? Remove any single adapter and the whole project crashes harder than my production server during a demo!

Average Node.js Project

Average Node.js Project
Behold the duality of Node.js development! On the left, we have the node_modules folder—a monstrous encyclopedia that could crush a small desk, containing 500MB of dependencies just to center a div. Meanwhile, your actual source code on the right is basically a haiku that says "import everything" and "console.log('hello world')". The best part? You'll spend 90% of your time managing those dependencies and 10% writing the three lines of code that actually do something. It's like bringing a nuclear warhead to a knife fight.

It Will Happen, I'm Telling You

It Will Happen, I'm Telling You
The JavaScript ecosystem has reached peak absurdity with a package called "is-thirteen" that literally just checks if a number equals 13. That's it. That's the entire functionality. But wait! The prophecy foretells an even greater absurdity: someone creating "is-not-thirteen" that imports "is-thirteen" as a dependency just to negate its return value. Because why write num !== 13 when you could add two more dependencies to your already bloated node_modules folder? And the worst part? Deep down we all know it's inevitable. The npm wasteland grows stronger with each passing day.

The JavaScript Framework Apocalypse

The JavaScript Framework Apocalypse
The evolution of web development in four panels! Started with the innocent dream of "build the internet" - so pure, so simple. Then we added some HTML/CSS because, you know, websites should look pretty. But then... oh no... the JavaScript framework apocalypse struck! Now we're all frantically learning 17 new frameworks before breakfast just to stay employable. Remember when you could just FTP a single HTML file to a server and call it a day? Now you need 4GB of node_modules to display "Hello World". The modern web: where your simple todo app requires more computing power than NASA used to reach the moon.

The Node Modules Apocalypse

The Node Modules Apocalypse
Start a new JavaScript project with a simple npm init ? Sure, seems innocent enough! But dare to run npm install and suddenly your laptop fans kick into jet engine mode as your machine downloads half the internet. The node_modules folder is where dependencies go to multiply like rabbits on performance-enhancing drugs. One minute you're writing a simple "Hello World" app, the next you've downloaded 300MB of packages you'll never directly use. Nothing quite captures the absurdity of modern web development like watching your hard drive space vanish because you needed to import a function that pads strings with zeros.

The Real Exponential Growth Champion

The Real Exponential Growth Champion
Someone needs to tell Elon about the exponential growth of node_modules folders. While AI might be growing fast, any JavaScript developer knows the true speed champion is watching your disk space vanish as soon as you run npm install . That 5MB project somehow needs 500MB of dependencies, and God help you if you're on a slow internet connection. The real technological singularity isn't AI - it's when a single node_modules folder finally consumes all available storage on Earth.

Node Modules: The Real MVPs Of Your Application

Node Modules: The Real MVPs Of Your Application
The AUDACITY of developers thinking they're coding geniuses while their entire app is basically a yacht being dragged by a truck labeled "node_modules" containing 1000 open source packages! Honey, you're not writing code—you're just playing LEGO with other people's blocks! That smug little horse on the yacht thinking they're Captain Code while the REAL heroes are towing their entire career behind them on the highway of dependency. The delusion is BREATHTAKING! 💅

Heaviest Object In The Universe

Heaviest Object In The Universe
Ever wondered why your laptop fans sound like they're preparing for liftoff? Look no further than your node_modules folder! While your actual code might be a svelte stormtrooper, those dependencies are an absolute unit that would make the Death Star blush. 500 lines of your code somehow requires 500MB of someone else's code. And heaven forbid you run npm install on a weak WiFi connection – you could literally go make a sandwich, watch a Star Wars trilogy, and come back to find it still downloading the "essential" packages needed to center a div.

Patching Is Cringe

Content YoussefHenna on May 10, 2023 You can use this patch to get it working for now. Might need to be recreated for the latest version, just follow the steps here manually in nodemodules then create a patch 1 1 1 reply bussman on May 10, 2023 Patching is too cringe for me but thanks for the suggestion 3
