Webpack -- instead of writing code to do what you want, install and configure a series of plugins, and then maybe chain more plugin-plugins to fix shortcomings with the original plugins. Also, enjoy updating to a new version every few years that is completely non-backwards compatible yet never fully finished because every plugin is a separately versioned project. The never-ending update treadmill keeps you sharp!
