When you're first learning to code, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the veritable cornucopia of build tool options. Why are there so many? What do they do? What problems do they solve?

In this episode, we (not-too-deep) dive into Build Tools—specifically, Package Managers, Task Runners, and Module Loaders and Bundlers.

Learn what each of these tool types do, and briefly compare the different tools themselves. By the end of this episode, you'll learn the problems that they solve, and how to make your life easier by applying them to your development workflow.
