That number is true and almost useless, which is the problem with every dependency-weight argument I have read. 69 of those packages are ESLint itself.

2+ hour, 8+ min ago   (879+ words) I keep a Mac Mini in a closet running a handful of small scheduled Python jobs. One of them scans market data on a schedule and, when its rules fire, places tiny orders through an exchange API. Positions are around…...

I got tired of coding agents editing before “done” was defined — so I built a plan-first harness
