I’m usually a fan of Rachel’s writing, but this one just sounds like normal unfamiliarity with a language ecosystem. Yes, Node.js programs have a lot of dependencies. That’s how the ecosystem works. Code is shipped as source and there’s a culture of code reuse. Nothing about this is bad or wrong. ESLint is a good tool if you’re developing JS. The typical approach is to install it as a project dependency, using ‘npm install eslint —dev’ IIRC.
