My main project is a Rails/Ember.js application to help people find affordable housing in the bay area.

My problem was that the CLI built to help glue the two together didn't work on Windows so I tried it out in the WSL. Because of missing inotify support, hot reloading was broken. I found that I really missed that functionality so I moved to the fast ring of insider builds. After an update, node was completely broken. I didn't know how to switch to the slow ring to get a build that may have worked so I switched to developing to the Arch install I have on another drive.

What OS build & Linux version are you running? Type `ver` at the Cmd prompt, and `lsb_release -a` at the Bash prompt.

What do you mean when you say your node is "broken"?

And I don't follow re. your Arch install on another drive?
