npm package malware is also a technology problem. Deps should be built at install time, on-host from original inspectable sources but npm practice is to build at package publish time so it runs everywhere w/out a build step. How badly you want JS to "not" be a compiled language! So you have everyone turning their "JS" into *actual* JavaScript in a way that obscures the original intent, allowing things like the recent vulnerability to slip in easily. To fix this you need a completely different package management philosophy centered around.. Builds!

Hot take: Single page documentation is superior to documentation that spoon feeds three paragraphs at a time to you with prev/next pagers at the bottom.
1. Use command+f to search for things like you always do.
2. Easier to keyboard navigate.
3. Can still hyperlink to headers... 4. Instantly gives you all of the docs "offline". Just keep a browser tab open or save the HTML or print to pdf.
