If you are in node land I highly recommend using 'yarn install --flat' and I desperately wish this was the default in npm from the beginning. It would have radically altered the package development culture in a good way. The way npm currently handles version conflicts is one of the primary reasons why using npm is currently a nightmare. The average node project will have dozens of abandoned or ancient package versions precisely because allowing multiple versions to exist means that these packages never get forked or updated. Each one of those packages is a ticking time bomb waiting to be taken over by a malicious actor. Forking is a better solution than pulling in unmaintained packages with out of date dependencies.
