I wouldn't ls in a random js script either. Use readdir exactly like shown in the article. But to hack something quickly in package.json? Yes, absolutely. I'm not turning all my 1 liners into standalone scripts to potentially maybe avoid using an arg that never got implemented. And now it's cross platform too so I only have to test it on 1 system.

> And now it's cross platform too so I only have to test it on 1 system. Not so fast. Did you uppercase the first letter of the file and tested on macos and windows? It will fail on linux. Did you create a file called con.js and test it on non-windows machine? It will fail on windows. Did you rely on sub-second precision timestamps? It will fail on some windows machines. This is a leaky abstraction. People will run into problems.
