I've seen comments like this almost daily this week. Does HN not use lockfiles or something? Your node/npm project will work just fine if you use the same version of node/npm and have a lockfile. Maybe you're using npm i (which can upgrade dependencies in some cases) instead of npm ci [0] (which always uses the lockfile dependencies). In any case, this is a general problem of package managers and has nothing to do with the language. You'll need something similar if you're using _any_ external dependency in Rust, Python, Go, etc. [0]: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-ci https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-ci
