Re:Show HN: Auto install npm dependencies as you code on Monday August 08, 2016 @09:53PM (#12252047)
I'm not buying the argument. I often hit [npm install] 20 times a day, and sometimes you get distracted, or just sloppy at the end of a long week. A nice feature of this, is in vim I'd have a dict of common modules, and then have the autocomplete autocomplete their names for me. That way you get in a routine where if the library isn't in the autocomplete, you need to take a second and think about it. So nothing wrong with the tool, it's just a tool. Use a flamethrower carelessly, you're going to have a bad time.

Exactly how is any of this different than installing via the command line?
