fs NPM project... #32

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!"
