it seems a lot worse with NPM for some reason, but the underlying weaknesses apply to language package managers in general too.

- johnisgood 1y agoI think it is worse with npm because there are more people using it and more people know about it. Lowering the barrier to entry is not paying off, for sure.
- quails8mydog 1y agoI think part of the reason is the embrace of an "each package should do exactly one thing" by many in the community, often taken to a ridiculous extreme. Possibly better now after left-pad and other similar incidents.
