The argument got rather confused at the end. The todo list has 13,000 dependencies precisely because the NPM community follows the advice here to create many small libraries. So is that supposed to be a good or bad thing?

[noobermin]

Yeah...not sure where they were going there. The many small libraries becomes a problem when said libs go out of sync, i mean that is where dependency hell bites.

After 40 years I've decided that dependencies are the root all evil. There is something to be said for curated libraries and frameworks.

[tlarkworthy]

It's the fanout of frameworks, not the utility libraries

[rhizome]

That depends on who is doing the supposing.
