I should admit that my procedures are only marginally better than an average developer's.

Sadly I have no arbitrarily deep audit in place. I just try to pick solid projects, and assume / quickly check that their dependencies don't suck.

Also I'm particularly cautious with npm (as opposed to rubygems or clojars).

I should be looking into either (or both of):

- setting up a multi-user macOS ('me' + 'admin' + 'dev'. I normally operate under 'me'. sudo is only ever executed under 'admin'. Developer tooling is installed for 'dev', an account which cannot access the rest of the filesystem)

- using Docker and/or a VM for all dev activity, as a sandbox.
