I used to hate npm with the burning heat of a thousand supernovas. I think maybe they changed the way it works because now it tends to work instead of assaulting you viciously with a massive cascade of dependency errors every time you try to install a package.
Until recently it was quite the absolute worst experience of software ever for me and I used DOS and Windows 1.0.
Every time I realized I had to use npm I would be filled with deep dread and the knowledge that I was about to have my time burned in a bonfire of errors, confusion and complexity.
Someone needs to make a sincere apology for npm.
Why has it not bothered me lately? Either it has been improved or I am using it differently somehow.
