I hate npm so much. I had a situation where I couldn't work on a project because I couldn't get the dev environment running locally.

I’ve gotten to the point where I hate even having a build step at all. The benefits are not worth it in the long run.

I feel like I should be able to create a moderately complex website (or even a web app) and it should be able to run for a minimum of five years without needing compatibility updates.
