I think GP was amazed by the sheer number of dependencies, not by the how many of them are duplicated. It also amazes me. People talking above about having 10s of GB of dependencies. Crazy to me.

This amazes me as well. At work we have a simple website which has 1 GB of node_modules and the actual source code is well under a megabyte.

I'm very curious to know how in the world a node_modules directory can grow above 1GB! Which dependencies are the worst offenders? Is it dominated by a few huge deps?
