My theory on why so many people are bad at coding.
What's probably got your shorts in a knot is the contents of the node_modules directory. That directory is a cache for mode.js modules so the tutorial can function standalone without having to install anything else. Treat it as you would object code. I pulled a half-dozen of those modules at random and went to their repositories. Every one of them had unit tests: block-stream, graceful-fs, lowercase-keys, minimist, pify and safe-buffer. Nobody sane ships unit tests with their executables.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing block-stream and safe-buffer you can also consider the following projects:
lowercase-keys - Lowercase the keys of an object
minimist - parse argument options
graceful-fs - fs with incremental backoff on EMFILE
pify - Promisify a callback-style function
