Well, perhaps no? Since those things don't get into your list by themselves I would think that it would incentivise the opposite. If whatever lib you're using has 100 dependencies, one for left-pad, the other for right, one for switching underscores for hyphens, this would make someone come and say, I can make this with much less cruft.
But still, if the dependencies are repeated across dependencies they wouldn't increase. So if you use 2 packages that both use say "curl", for your "bundle" it would still be only 1 entry for curl.
- hutzlibu 6y agoIf money is involved, fraudsters will get involved. You want to argue with people that their long dependency list is totally unneccecary? That will become the norm, if this is the metric on how much income everyone would get. The higher the number of packages - the higher the pay. Does not reflect reality, where one package can be a million times more complex, than simple 100 packages.
