The 'download code from the internet' problem isn't new to NPM or new to package managers or even related - it is orthogonal in my opinion. > Being able to randomly import blobs of code that maybe does something that might help you I usually know exactly what the code I'm using does and why I'm importing it. > you go figure out what you're supposed to implement while at the same time the "customer" is also figuring out what they want? This lights up a bunch of red lights to me. This is nothing like the development process I know. I strongly suggest you consider looking for a place that doesn't treat developers like that (mostly technical companies tend to be better in this regard). It is a programmers' market and you get to choose a workplace with good culture. The path of feeling like your goals are unclear or unimportant while caring about them leads to burnout. Stay strong :) (
