The more I work with Node.js, the more I appreciate its built-in features. Supply chain attacks are a real thing and the more I can do without pulling in megabytes (or even kilobytes) of dependencies, the better. For example, one of the very common patterns in Node applications are configs in .env files. The traditional way to digest them is to use dotenv, which admittedly has zero dependencies – but nowadays even that is not necessary.
