Point taken, but then we get into the 'omg how is this development package installed on the prod machines?' ' Because it is convenient for finding issues'. I am sorry to say I know disturbingly many devs that run dev on prod because they can just continue devving on prod. That's not restricted to Node but I see it with RoR and .NET Core as well. That would not pass muster at all for me but I see it quite often and interestingly not in startups but bigger companies on departmental level (no code reviews there anyway...).
