Hoisting, phantoms and doppelgängers - demystifying the spooky world of NPM node_modules and how to eradicate its darkness with PNPM

Physicists say black holes are the heaviest things in the universe, but surely they've never seen a truly monstrous node_modules folder. In this talk, we'll venture into the eerie underworld of NPM node_modules, where scary forces like hoisting, phantoms, and doppelgängers can haunt your projects and keep you up at night. But don't worry - there's a way out! I'll show you how switching to package managers like PNPM can help banish these spooky beings. Plus, I'll share real-life learnings (and a few battle scars) from migrating a monorepo from NPM-like setup to PNPM - so you can make this journey without losing your sanity.
