Finally the treadmill of endlessly reinventing JavaScript frameworks and libraries is available for us Joe Schmoes too.

How do you know? I'd have to see those modules first to have an opinion.

They said 'maybe'. I'm gonna say they are right, because there is no need for 99%+ of npm modules (and indeed, by far most are not used by anyone except the org author). Especially with AI, most npms are trivially generated faster than you can find and install them and usually less influenced/opinionated by the usually terrible star vying programmer that uploaded it in the first place. If AI trivially generates your npm (so you can make 4 per week next to whatever you were doing), why would I need it instead of having AI trivially generating a specific (without the features I don't need) version for what I am doing at the moment?

Counter-point: there's plenty of need for modern-es6/typescript-first/promise-aware/tree-shakable npm libs.
