+## Managing upgrades
+
+- lock files (package-lock.json 24kloc)
+  - even a yarn.lock can be >30kloc, 2mb
+- supply chain security
+  - what if adding a new dependency was a breaking change?
+- what if we need incompatible versions?
+- not getting along with the in-laws — what if I like _my_ dependency, but I don't like _their_ dependencies
+- what if upgrading was more interactive?
+  - the major version is a breaking change because...
+    - this is totally possible. elm has had this for years!
+  - John Boberic has been added as a maintainer
+  - maybe
+
+## Wasted cycles
+
+- a _bunch_ of files I don't care about
+- package.json
+- LICENSE (arguable, but who the hell looks at the LICENSE files in their node_modules)
+- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
+- CHANGELOG.md
+- README.md
+- .github/ folders!?!
+- .editorconfig
+- plenty of other config files I don't want to spell out
+- if you have a TypeScript dependency, every one source file is probably three separate delivery files (or more!!)
+- Tests
+
+All of these unnecessary file writes really add up.
+
+## ~~Wasted~~ Dangerous cycles
+
+- `postinstall`, `prepare`, etc.
+
+...in any other context, we'd consider remote arbitrary code execution to be a disasterous outcome. Languages like elm, won't even let libraries run arbitrary code at _runtime_
+
+- "it's a culture thing"
+  - it's up to everyone to cultivate an ecosystem where we use dependencies responsibly
+
+## Absolute trash
+
+As a case study, I picked one of my small-but-reasonably-complicated projects, and looked through it's node_modules/ folder.

+is-negative-zero caught my attention, so I dug a little further.
+
+```

+
+That's 16 files for what seems like a very simple package. If we look at the contents of the only file in here that is actually useful...
+
+```
+───────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+       │ File: node_modules/is-negative-zero/index.js
+───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+   1   │ 'use strict';
+   2   │
+   3   │ module.exports = function isNegativeZero(number) {
+   4   │     return number === 0 && (1 / number) === -Infinity;
+   5   │ };
+   6   │
+───────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+```
+
+That's it. A single meaningful line of code, amongst 500 lines of configuration, documentation, and tests. Better yet, this is just a less useful version of the `Object.is` function, which has been in browsers for a decade, and Node.js since before 1.0! Why has this package _ever_ existed? As far as I can tell, `Object.is` predates is-negative-zero by at least a couple months, but it does seem like they appeared at around the same time. Instead of all this waste, you can just say...
+
+```js
+Object.is(x, -0);
+```

+- Publishing TypeScript on npm
+- Running tests in TypeScript (slow start up time, issues with type checking)
+- ESModules vs CommonJS
+- Now that file extensions are required, do my imports need to use js or ts extensions?
+  - TSC won't help you.
+- Documentation comments (great in the editor, but, where else?)
+- Integration testing (making sure it works vanilla, or with Webpack, ESBuild, Vite, Next.js, Storybook, etc.)
+  - Compounds the ESModules vs CommonJS issue
+  - Being able to just `import {} from "mylib";`
