Apparently it works retroactively and now you are on Windows.

Oh man, that would be a hell of an easter egg if it cleared your terminal and pretended to be a dos prompt

"ruin dev" is redundant; that's the default behavior.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, it's already ruined(!)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

dev.ruin()!

SyntaxError: Unexpected ! operator

No, it's an order!

Your code will be minified and your git history deleted

Npm ruined dev long before you tried this.

We have the best deployment pipeline in the world, because of jail.

i think the dev is already ruined having to use npm

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Security people will say so.

You'll be forced to use only Windows forever.

It's an alias to start the upgrade to Windows 11... you thought you were being careful all those months dodging the Windows 11 upgrade button but you've done it now! Get ready for an objectively worse OS!

Considering "being ruined" is a state, and not a scale, the dev is already ruined, because it's not Linux.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

You forgot to run npm edge dev first

Did you get four hundred thousand viruses?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Computer over?
Virus = very yes?

That's not a good prize!

Hi Strong Bad

NPM ruin dev is a new advanced feature that endorses opinionated "extreme programming" techniques. First it gets to work rebuilding node_modules, but with all the least compatible module versions in order to accelerate testing. It also minifies your .js code in place, to save you some CPU cycles later. Lastly, it squashes your entire git history on all branches, to save space.

It also tries to do rm -rf / to save more space, but in this case it's a futile attempt

You may have to switch to a proper operating system to redeem yourself.

Hope you didn't have the repository URL in your package.json... otherwise it'll be gone now.

npm will ruin the dev now. It happened to me 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

The NPM gods will smite you for using CMD instead of PowerShell.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

NPM on Windows, it doesn't matter anymore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah you’re gonna need a new dev environment. That one’s toast.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Same thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Your .env with production credentials is now up on a public repo

MCP: Already there, Hun! END OF LINE.

You should press backspace. 😉

Its an alias, so no problem.
