i wonder if maybe we just need personal package repos for shit like this, stuff that probably shouldnt be out on the internet and accessible, but that's also worth packaging for regular use. Like a sort of "code macro" which is something i see people doing a lot for certain boilerplate strings.

You are describing a state of software development that has existed since the introduction of punch cards.

Practically every business I've worked at has had some internal library or repository of commonly used behavior that can be included in day to day projects.

obviously, i just mean more universally on an individual level today, maybe we just need package quality reviewers these days lol.

You could pretty easily add this feature into whatever shit ass IDE you use that consumes 8GB of ram by just existing.
