When npm modules bring in 1500 micro dependencies for a service you could build in 15 minutes, it makes you wonder if you should, in fact, rebuild the wheel.

It's interesting how in the past big all-in frameworks were cool.. And then suddenly it became super uncool, and ppl go for micro- light framework, where you require a bunch of parts you need, and might end up with a bigger code than the full framework... And worse project structure/optimization 🤔

A few days ago I needed a simple pagination. 5 fucking Megabytes of dependency bullshit.
