  That’s fair, actually: my project had 2 packages in my node_modules (not my package.json, total dependencies!) in vanilla JS, now it has well over 100. Unreal.

  I host my own website, and I decided to rewrite the JS portions in React, in order to learn the framework. Boy was it a learning experience: To do the same thing required 2-4 times the amount of code—and that’s just in the scripts, let alone the all the bloat from the packages and the bundler.

  I know this is a bit more radical than cutting out frameworks, but working with the JS ecosystem was such a pain, largely because there’s you need to piece together different software to make a stack work, which may or may not go together well. And since your stack is likely unique, good luck getting help on your problems. It made me miss Rust (albeit most languages do)—in Rust, you have Cargo for everything, and it’s beautiful. Rust has its own difficulties, but they actually feel surmountable compared to the dependency hell of JS.

  Hey man, the only people who can challenge the new oligarchs, so it seems, are the old oligarchs. And I say: let them fight!

  Ah, that makes a lot more sense lol

  Could you show me the place in the study where it says this? I wasn’t able to find it, and this seems pretty important

  Love this. This is the kind of stuff sophisticated ML models were born to do!

  This is an interesting article, but I can only think of how current tech corporations would be absolutely drooling over the AI trained on financial transactions named Charlie—and very little would likely prevent them from getting their hands on it in the long term.

  But, as always, I hope I’m just being paranoid. Best of luck to old TimBL—he’s revolutionized the world once; why not again?
