Ehh, who cares what the snobs think? Drink what you like! I've been experimenting with coffee for like 2 years, and have found myself really enjoying dark roasted stuff (as well as lighter stuff!)
The truth is, you can get a really fruity single-origin bean but as soon as it goes into a latte, typically you've lost 99% of the origin characteristics. It gets a bit wasteful and expensive. Cafes typically go for house roasts that lean darker, and I can see why: they just work better in milk!
There are definitely speciality shops that sell dark roasts like you might want. One in the UK, Rave, sells the most amazing Italian-style blend with robusta mixed in. It's not fruity at all, just pure dark roasty flavour (yes, I've got an espresso bar lol.)
That darker style gets frowned upon a lot ("bleuch! it's bitter!"), as a lot of people in the space have kinda embraced the more fruit-forward lighter roast stuff (if you roast darker, you tend to obscure them.) I like that too (some stuff is kickass), I just categorize it separately from darker stuff.
I believe some people have started calling it goop, presumably as an anthesis to soup, which is very coarsely ground espresso typically using lighter roasts.
Not sure where you're based (US?), but there will be stuff out there. Try r/coffee or your local forum maybe? Once you find a really good one, you'll probably just stick with it :-)
You can actually see what users have told Claude to add to the site, too[0]. The person continuously trying to add hash computation features for the course of 20 minutes provides a very unique entertainment :)
Some friction is probably wise. I remember them introducing the requirement to individually allow each app you're installing things from. The question is, how much more friction will they add? I suspect they will add prompts per install, too.
You don't really need more packages. There's definitely a culture of creating ridiculously small packages, though.
If you spend enough time in the ecosystem, you'll begin to realise that a select few are very well known for doing this; one in particular made a package for every ANSI terminal colour.
left-pad (and quite a few incidents afterwards) were definitely wakeup calls, and I like to think we've listened in some ways.
In 2021, they published a post[0] about how they used web components, alongside a library called Calalyst. It seemed like quite a nice system. I've still seen include-fragment elements in the HTML, so I assume they still use it.
Like Memories feature in Apple which uses media to make short form video but also picks and plays music with them. We love those videos. Enabling feature like that involves understanding metadata and media and music.

Rough guess: It probably wouldn't be this dramatic of an increase, but could it be something to do with iOS disallowing Just-in-Time compilation, and forcing Ahead-of-Time? I've always wondered.
