> They break backwards compatibility

For the most part, they think they things through a lot and most importantly they document breaking changes. Their approach is an absolute dream compared to, say, updating xcode/iOS apps. It's a total shit show at Apple.

Ha, if you think that updating iOS apps is bad, try updating all your node modules to the latest version without anything breaking.

It's like Russian Roulette with your code. Maybe something will break, maybe you'll get off easy!

This is why continuous integration is good. If the latest version of a dependency breaks something, you'll know sooner rather than later.
