This was my first hint that Node wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I still use it, but man, when it breaks in Windows it is a (to coin a phrase my professor used to use) catastrophic failure.
- joshmanders 11y agoFWIW: npm may be bundled with node, but node is not reliant on it. All npm does is put libraries in `node_modules` for node to require them. Node does not need npm to run, and node does not make npm a dependency. This is akin to PHP deciding to bundle composer with it, just because it's the defacto package manager for PHP.
