Apparently it works retroactively and now you are on Windows.

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 55 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 59 points 3 months ago

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

[–] RichardoC@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, it's already ruined(!)

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

dev.ruin()!

SyntaxError: Unexpected ! operator

No, it's an order!

Understood

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 42 points 3 months ago

Npm ruined dev long before you tried this.

Your code will be minified and your git history deleted

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

You'll be forced to use only Windows forever.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i think the dev is already ruined having to use npm

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Security people will say so.

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

believe it or not, jail.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

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

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.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

You forgot to run npm edge dev first

Did you get four hundred thousand viruses?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Computer over?
Virus = very yes?

That's not a good prize!

deploys your code to your dev environment

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] un_aristocrate@jlai.lu 13 points 3 months ago

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

[–] lud@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

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

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 months ago

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

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

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

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 7 points 3 months ago

NPM on Windows, it doesn't matter anymore.

[–] __init__@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago

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

[–] reboot6675@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Jakylla@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Not sure CrowdStrike runs on npm, but still ruined it all for sure

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Same thing.

[–] Solitaire20X6@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

MCP: Already there, Hun! END OF LINE.

[–] istoff@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You should press backspace. 😉

[–] ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

Its an alias, so no problem.

[–] akash_rawal@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

npm ruin dev running shittier could be a nice prank... depending on how often it gets typed.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Microsoft is way ahead of you
