It’s mostly node modules
“send nodes”
I hate Web 3.0
Node has been around longer than web3
NPM nightmares intensify
Web 3.0 ≠ web3
I also hate making things from smaller pieces, the engineering in software engineering. /s
Nah fuck the entire node ecosystem. It’s proof of how bad people have become at software design. Especially web devs. It’s crazy to me how many devs introduce breaking changes because of their “philosophy” or because the original design was straight up terrible.
270GB of mostly node modules?
You’re right, it would be bigger if it was node
Only 270GB? They must only have a few hundred lines of code.
Sounds pretty average
pnpm store would probably save them a lot.of grief if true
Nah, having big node_modules folders is a security feature. It’s like keeping your valuables in a bag of trash.
It also takes a long time to make a dump, so you have a higher chance of noticing it happening.
