XML is better than YAML
The fact that JSON doesn't support comments is so annoying, and I always thought that Douglas Crockford's rationale for this basically made no sense ("They can be misused!" - like, so what, nearly anything can be misused. So without support for comments e.g. in package.json files I have to do even worse hacky workaround bullshit like "__some_field_comment": "this is my comment"). There is of course jsonc and JSON5 but the fact that it's not supported everywhere means 10 years later we still can't write comments in package.json (there is https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482 and about a million related issues).

Jest not recommended to be used in Node.js due to instanceOf operator issues
Things like the sparkline charts on npmjs (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm ) are interactive SVGs. I think they're pretty common for data visualizations of all kinds

JavaScript registry NPM vulnerable to 'manifest confusion' abuse
I actually did a POC 7 years ago about this - https://github.com/tanepiper/steal-ur-stuff
It was reported to npm at the time, but they chose to ignore it - https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17724

I'm a Teapot
Every time this pops up, I'm reminded of the day that the NPM registry started returning 418 responses.
I remember being at a training course that day and my manager asking me what we could do to fix it because our CI was failing to pull dependencies from NPM.
Trying to explain that NPM was returning a status code intended as an April Fools joke and which was never meant to see the light of production was quite difficult

NPM Vs PNPM
NPM is not "Node Package Manager". https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm

A not so unfortunate sharp edge in Pipenv
> which can be overriden with env setting
Support for this is not great. Lots of packages still don't support this properly. My experience matches the 2015 comment https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/775#issuecomment-71294085
> Not sure why "symlinks" would be involved.
If you make your node_modules a symlink, multiple packages will fail. Even if you're not interested in doing that, others are.
> What NPM does is leaps and bounds ahead
Unless you change your node / gyp version. It doesn't really have a concept of runtime version. You can restrict it, but not have two concurrent versions if they conflict.

Framework axios pushed a broken update, crippling thousands of websites
I think it's had been supposed to do that since forever. Apart from some bug in npm 5.3. Are you sure your package-lock versions actually conform to the semver ranges in your package.json?

Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

How To Set Up Your Coding Environment
By setting up your environment in isolation, you can prevent yourself from a lot of issues when experimenting with code. It makes your code behave more predictable due to the defined state of the runtime environment you are working with. This article should provide you with enough information to get started, but obviously, there is a lot more power embedded in NVM, Virtual Environment and RBEnv. So make sure to check their documentation.
