Just because they are "hackers" it does not mean they know how to program. There are a lot of "hackers" that actually suck at it.

I suppose hacking is its own business domain, and these are domain experts writing shitty code to implement the business logic they need.

I've known programmers who couldn't program very well, but they understood the business domain and its rules so well that, while writing verbose unmaintainable crap they could be as productive as better programmers who did not know the domain as well.

Hence why NPM exists in the first place.
