I'm normally a backend developer but I was fooling around with using vue.js + jquery to build a simple SPA without the typical process of npm install <entire world>. When it came time to finally bundle my app into a single html + js file I settled on (well was forced to really) npm install rollup. After installing rollup, I had a package-lock.json file that was 1880 lines long with approximately 150 or so dependencies and a node_modules directory so huge that vscode choked trying to parse everything in it. To its credit, vscode asked me if I wanted to exclude node_modules from future consideration. All that from installing a single tool via npm. I just don't get modern web development.
