Every time someone claims that "the problem" with software is too many dependencies, they're really arguing for software to remain at the "leeches for blood letting" stage of evolution. In all industries, we stand on the shoulders of giants by abstracting what we already know.

Well, that's what I was thinking about yes. Good dependency management is critical to scaling any project, not reducing the number of dependencies. The whole minification, tree shaking, optimizing size problems in JS make me grouchy because compilers do this thing quite well.

How is that different from depending on a PPA?

fwiw I think shipping minified code is not the right answer and I hope it goes away.

I hope so, too. It is such a terrible hacky wart. For npm to build trust... anything that is shipped minified should be compiled by http://npm.org from source code. I surprised that it wasn't.
