    Doesn't feel unreasonable to conflate the two. npm is the dominant way to handle dependencies for frontend and backend, even some of the most popular script-tag delivery CDNs are powered by npm (unpkg, skypack). Coincidentally one of my previous posts was about a no tool approach. https://danthedev.com/web-dev-without-tools/
