Experiences vary wildly.
> With a proper `package.lock`
I've never heard of package.lock. Are you as familiar with the subject as the general tone of your comment implies?
- Raed667 3y agoMy bad I meant `package-lock`, updated for clarity. > Especially when the old project in question is not yours Then it falls out of the stated scope of "updating my small website once every 5 years or so"
- spankalee 3y agoHow have you never heard of a package lock, yet are criticizing other people's knowledge and tone?
- pc86 3y agoThey were being pedantic, in that `package-lock` is a thing, and `package.lock` (which is the comment originally said) doesn't. Because apparently a typo invalidates whatever experience you have.
- cxr 3y agoYou seem to have missed that my comment was a response to pedantry. It was not, in itself, an attempt at pedantry, let alone pedantry unprovoked. If someone writes a comment intended to come across as knowledgeable about something (NB: in service of trying to downplay the experience of others, including the person they are responding to), but their self-report gets something as wrong as referring to package-lock.json as "package.lock", which is in the ballpark, but far enough off to be weird, then it raises questions about just how much experience they actually have with that thing (including and especially relative to the person they were trying to contradict).
