This can be fixed by switching from npm to pnpm or bun. They use hard links and a package cache.

That's the thought I always had: When I develop in Node, I stand on the shoulders of ten thousand microbes.

This does not fix anything. Your final packaged code is the same.

Depends firstly what you are building. For a Node backend, it of course matters a lot. For a JS frontend you always only ship a fraction of the dependency code, so the meme doesn't really apply. Modern JS frameworks are alright as long as you know what you are doing

I think you two are taking about something different. Yes, pnpm slims down node modules, and yes it does nothing for your package.
But tree shaking is what I think the other person should've referenced to make their point.

Me working on basic js:
Well JS, you are an odd fellow, but you run in a browser.
HELP! HEEELP!

I'd like full stack developers to try something. Next time you have an itch for a personal project, see if you can make it with no frontend JavaScript. Just some CSS and HTML forms. All templating handled on the backend. Just try it and see how far you get. Don't worry if it looks like a GeoCities page.
Then try finding places where JavaScript would make it more responsive or better UX in some way. Does the back button still work? Is it actually faster? Does it provide any benefit at all?
Maybe it does, but just try.

"Why not write Assembly then?"
Oh, here comes the genius motherfucker with the big-brain counterargument: "Well, if HTML's so great, why not just write everything in Assembly, huh?". Wow, look at you, you clever little prick. Did you come up with that all by yourself? Writing web pages in Assembly is like using a fucking scalpel to slice your overcooked steak: sure, it'll get the job done, but you're gonna look like a complete asshole while you're at it. HTML just works, you absolute tool. It's been the backbone of the web since Al Gore flipped the switch, and it'll still be here long after your trendy framework is rotting in a GitHub graveyard. So take your smartass logic and shove it. HTML's king, and you're just a peasant with a keyboard.

I'm a JavaScript developer. But it is fully possible to create a site with no frontend JavaScript
Like many things, you should use JavaScript if you need it. If you don't need remote data sources or live refreshes, pure html and css work perfectly fine and, I would go so far as to say, may even be necessary for resistance web pages.
This is especially true if you're using tor. JavaScript can leak your IP address and sites will work more reliability if you have static content that's refreshed on the back end than using a bloated next.js app taking up RAM.

If you don't believe HTML is enough, check any socialist/communist web page.

Some are even a much worse implementation of something done much simpler with JS and requires significantly more code weighing down the page speed. Some examples of this are the cursor tracking examples which use hundreds of divs in a grid.
While there are some useful examples, it seems like this repo is more of a list of to show off advanced CSS, fancy animations, and designs.

I'm here still using jQuery and php+sockets for nearly all my needs. Only once in my life I actually needed node
