@wbinnssmith added these scripts a long time ago at my suggestion/urging, but I think they ended up bad for a couple reasons that were hard to foresee at the time:
- afsctool operates in-place and doesn't atomically write the compressed file, so if the process gets interrupted, your `target` directory is corrupted. https://github.com/Dr-Emann/applesauce is better for this reason.
- This doesn't acquire the cargo lock, and modifying files while cargo is running is a good way to get corruption of the `target` directory.
https://github.com/bgw/cargo-apfs-compress is my latest attempt at solving this, though I don't have a `LaunchAgents` config for it.
Regarding `node_modules`: pnpm creates reflinks from a shared global store on apfs. Trying to compress these reflinked files is just going to hurt you because it'll break the data deduplication that would've otherwise happened.
