This amazes me as well. At work we have a simple website which has 1 GB of node_modules and the actual source code is well under a megabyte.

I'm very curious to know how in the world a node_modules directory can grow above 1GB! Which dependencies are the worst offenders? Is it dominated by a few huge deps?
