I've actually had a node project go bad in a mere 4 months. It must be a new record. That was about 4-5 years ago though.

Hopefully the ecosystem as improved since then, but it was nearly impossible to get going.

Some packages had been changed and the version number overwritten with incompatible packages, and the conflicts were plenty.

the problem was your research before using the packages then. So much bad engineering and architectural planning is blamed on the tools, not the human using it.
