    Then marketing comes around, asks to add google tag manager, and proceeds to make the client download 10TB of tracking librairies.

    At least node_modules don’t directly impact the browser.

            Okay that’s fair. I fricked around with some C++ numerics BLAS header library (I think it was Eigen) on Linux before that was complicated and annoying too. The ARM Fast Models simulator was also a pain. Maybe I just don’t like C++ development now that I think about it.

            C mostly worked okay for me though.

            That’s only been my experience with software that depends on many different libraries. And it’s extra painful when you find out that it needs hyper specific versions of libraries that are older than the ones you have already installed. Rust is only painless because it just downloads all the right dependencies.

              NixOS. Gentoo gets into trouble when you need multiple versions of the same library at the same time. Also while the infrastructure supports it it’s annoying that gentoo doesn’t provide pre-built binaries, like yes some people might want to have reason to build their own bash but I think I’ll be fine with a standard build. NixOS? If you install something usually it’s going to be pre-built. Change a couple of configuration flags? May or may not be pre-built. You want to apply a custom patch? It’s going to seamlessly build from source.

                I remember that Gentoo recently introduced binary packages, however I didn’t really look into it, as I changed away from Gentoo. (Looking at you Spidermonkey, llvm etc.)

      I keep seeing complaints from non JavaScript developers about their IDE not handling millions of files in a folder properly

    Depending on the design of its memory, a device with a full drive will literally weigh slightly more or slightly less than one with an empty drive. Charging the battery in all cases causes it to weigh more.
