Node has been around longer than web3

NPM nightmares intensify

As someone who has read these terms in passing but is unfamiliar with them: What the fuck?

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I'm with you. web3 is the cryptobro blockchain web, while Web 3.0 usually refers to either RFC-based standards or "the state of the modern web" - the post 2.0 era

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Http3 != web3.0

Web3 everywhere ive looked is strictly for blockchain approach to web

Im happy to be wrong, but my search yielded nothing to support your position. Do you have a resource handy?

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

HTTP/3 is yet another thing, unrelated to both of them. Wikipedia has a disambiguation page for the two meanings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0 https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/04/web-inventor-tim-berners-lee-wants-us-to-ignore-web3.html

I also hate making things from smaller pieces, the engineering in software engineering. /s

Nah fuck the entire node ecosystem. It’s proof of how bad people have become at software design. Especially web devs. It’s crazy to me how many devs introduce breaking changes because of their “philosophy” or because the original design was straight up terrible.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

270GB of mostly node modules?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

You're right, it would be bigger if it was node

[-] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Sounds pretty average

[-] metaldream@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Only 270GB? They must only have a few hundred lines of code.

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

pnpm store would probably save them a lot.of grief if true

[-] Doneee@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Nah, having big node_modules folders is a security feature. It’s like keeping your valuables in a bag of trash.

It also takes a long time to make a dump, so you have a higher chance of noticing it happening.
