I can take care of the coding part - after all that's where the fun is.
What usually drains most of my energy, as someone in the JS ecosystem, is the sheer volume of modules I need to sift through to find one that does what I want.
The other day I wanted to find a library for handling zlib in the browser - eventually I stumbled on `pako`, which is great.
Seeing this post I asked ChatGPT a somewhat vague question, namely: "What is the best npm module to handle zlib compression?"
It told me about the built-in zlib module, but the last paragraph had this:
"There are also other npm modules available that provide additional functionality or a different interface for handling zlib compression, such as pako and node-zopfli, but for basic compression and decompression using the zlib library, the built-in zlib module should suffice."
Now I feel dumb that I haven't used it for this purpose earlier.
