Comment on Time for developers to address the chaos of Node.js and NPM

Comments

The problem relies in the obsession with monolithic design even if it ends up being a complete house of cards. This leads many new developers to sacrifice basic logic and first principles when judging what good software is; often resulting in products that no one uses and that just crash anyway. But hey, you get this great toy-like model to show on your next interview. Security and access rights are sadly not taught as being essential to having a proper monolith because they'd greatly slow down development time. Whereas an engineer or builder has no choice but to confine their creativity within those principles because a product crash for them has much more dire consequences.
