A comment on NPM packages with most dependencies. Parent comment

he package at the top is literally just a package.json that installs all the packages published by one particularly prolific npm author

In case you don't know, lots of those packages are one liners.

There’s history behind those one-liners: https://github.com/sindresorhus/array-uniq/commit/fb96562015...

That package has no dependencies. The problem is when these one liner packages packages have dependencies and then in turn those dependencies have even more dependencies.
