Given that this is meant to be boilerplate for building apps, it makes sense to install it with devDependencies. However, let's go along and install it with the `--production` flag. It doesn't get much rosier. Close to 1M SLOC.

    $ npm install --production
    added 718 packages in 36.292s
    
    $ ls -l node_modules/ | wc -l
         518
    
    $ loc node_modules/
