And please don't get me started on node_modules. That is ridiculous, an atrocity, and I wish that whoever came up with this got fired and was never allowed to touch, get close, stand nearby or even talk about any computer, ever again.

This is actually one of the things Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js, strongly regrets about Node.js.

It's also one of the reasons why he built Deno.

Really? Interesting, even the Node creator dislikes node_modules! I'm watching his talk now, thanks for that!
