In my recollection that culture predated package managers for Node. When npm came around people on the official node IRC channel were already advocating tiny, single function modules. Those tiny packages on npm, albeit being weird, felt like a pretty organic culture thing. Not sure where that came from, I think it might have already been a thing for a subset of that community coming from other tech stacks at the time. While the node stdlib isn't all-bolts-included, I wouldn't exactly call it tiny either. What are you missing? I kind of blame the community for moments of stupidity like that leftpad thing just to pick one, if somebody had added some great extensions to the string class before that happened it would have been some other tiny issue.
