Sorry for being a grumpy old man, but I don't have npm on my machine and I never will. It's a bit frustrating to see more and more CLI tools depending on it.
Yep, this is another one of the reasons why all of these tools are incredibly poor. Like, the other day I was looking at the MCP spec from anthropic and it might be the worst spec that I've ever read in my life. Enshittification at the level of an industry is happening.
