This can be fixed by switching from npm to pnpm or bun. They use hard links and a package cache.

This does not fix anything. Your final packaged code is the same.

Depends firstly what you are building. For a Node backend, it of course matters a lot. For a JS frontend you always only ship a fraction of the dependency code, so the meme doesn't really apply. Modern JS frameworks are alright as long as you know what you are doing 🙂
