External Dependencies Management (npm)
A lot of 3rd party libraries don't work, even ubiquitous ones like Joi. We upload zipped node_modules and all we get are errors.
Devs now spend time building simplified versions of these libraries so we don't get the full benefit of a using a battle-tested library and also waste time writing functions that we shouldn't need to write. This is a huge pain and a productivity killer.
