Pin your versions, this was so effective because no one pins their version for what they are using.

Anyone saying it was the dick's fault and not yours needs to start owing their project.

I admit that the last time I worked with node it was a cluster fuck of nested dependencies that only works through the prayers of angles above. But standards are standards, own your project.
