Hi Tim, Some additional notes I usually miss on the grapevine. I do use NPM, and all kind of packages. However, I prefer to avoid those for resources I can easily load from a CDN. (which is almost all public available libraries/frameworks) Sure I can use bower, and host everything myself, but to what point? Nobody ever has been able to tell me the added value of self-hosting anything. If I have a app that needs some crucial 3rth party stuff, I do host a backup, so that if the CDN is unavailable, I can host it from my own server. However, most CDN's are more reliable then my own servers :) However, for development tools, and server-side stuff, the cards lie a bit different. There is fetching from a CDN highly inconvenient, so there I use NPM packages. Also I the added cruft is there of less importance. The use of bower escapes me still. It fetches packets so you can self-host 3rth party stuff, but usually, there is a lot of cruft, and unneeded files in there too. That all ends up on your production server if you are not careful, and even might add to your monthly bandwidth bill.
