I don’t find node_modules exceeding even a few hundred megabytes very often. But Rust target directories can easily reach multiple gigabytes.

Apart from incremental compilation cache, a large chunk of it is debug information. Lowering debug info precision helps a lot (although it’s still suspiciously large.)
