A lot of frontend libraries are not on npm.
linhmtran168··on Node's nested node_modules approach is basically incompatible with Windows
Have the same problem. Although I'm a Mac user, but I'm using OneDrive to store some toy projects. OneDrive stopped working and complained about the long folder path when I tried to install a NPM package. After some researches, I know this problem will not be fixed soon and move all of my Node projects to DropBox. For Windows user, I think the only solution now is to use a VM.

I also hate NodeJS for its package manager, NPM. I don't understand the way it manages dependencies and their folder. What the hell is 'node_modules/express/node_modules/connect/node_modules/multiparty/node_modules/readable-stream/node_modules/debuglog/'.

As a result, when updating dependencies with npm, a same dependency is downloaded multiple times.

linhmtran168··on Google Glass in 10 years: the view from dystopia
This will be the beginning of a world like in the Matrix. Gradually, it's Glass (or Lenses, or whatever) will control what we want to see, to hear and to choose. A world where everything is predictable to the computer and is comfortable to our liking. Well, I don't like that world.
linhmtran168··on Take pride or fuck it
Agree with the article wholeheartedly.

In my case, sometimes, another team fucks up, they cannot ship the product on time and I have to join to help them. As I have to deal with bad codes, bad practices, short deadlines and a product that I don't have any interest in, I often become a zombie and get it done as fast as possible and hope I would never have anything to do with it again.
