> Pro tip: rename your development directory

I changed my username to not contain a space because it was too annoying to deal with all the random dev tools breaking. The worst offender was probably npx on Windows [1] (resolved after four years by deprecating npx), but it was far from the only one (though the JS ecosystem was somehow the worst in this regard of all languages I worked with).

Same, even I had to rename my user folder to not have a space because so many tools were breaking.
