The DRY culture taken to the logical extreme ends up exactly here.
Perhaps someone influential can create an acceptable definition for when it is OK to "repeat yourself". The node.js package dependency culture is toxic.
- alexkavon 7y agoI see it as a combination of that and no incentive to review the code you require. We live in a “I need it to just work because everyone wants the dream of tech seemlessly working” age. This will probably become more and more common as the market opens up and the easier jobs (work?) become more and more blue collar. JS lends itself well to entry level devs that just want to write code and not understand needs or how an application works and why code is needed...and the exacerbation continues.
- duxup 7y agoIs this just JS entry level devs bringing in is-windows just because? I have my doubts about that. I suspect it is more a question of what other packages they bring in... that for some reason use is-windows. I think that is a difference and points to a different set of folks who for some reason, use this thing.
