A few of these are from the same uber-prolific NPM account (sinderhous or something like that). I have an issue with such ludicrous packages for two reasons - one, it creates so many unnecessary items in the node_module dependency tree, and it seems like a cop-out of learning how to code in the first place.... take the is-odd and is-even packages - anyone who doesn't know how to use the modulus operator has no business coding an application, as that's fairly fundamental stuff.
