This in a _nutshell_ is the problem with how people learn Node.js.
The `fs` module is a "core" module for interacting with the filesystem: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

Yet there are **1866** projects which _depend_ on this _empty_ package which has been downloaded over half a *million* times this month ...

We need to _educate_ people from Day 1 how to use "core" effectively.
The way I intend to do this is by encouraging people to build entire projects "_from scratch_" using "_Only Core Modules_". e.g: https://github.com/dwyl/hits and https://github.com/nelsonic/ac
But I intend to build something that people will be able to say "_I built something cool today_!"
