I see this as an absolute win. The state of micro dependencies of js was a nightmare that only happened because a lot of undereducated developers flooded the market to get that sweet faang money.

Now that both have dried up I hope we can close the vault door on js and have people learn how to code again.

I don't quite understand your argument. Wasn't the post about how users might replace transparent dependencies with transparent LLM drop-ins? I don't see how having an LLM to do the same job would enable someone to learn more. They're probably the kind of person who will ask the LLM to perform a refactor when problems arise, so they won't learn that much through osmosis.
