Coworkers Watching Me Run Npm Update This Morning

Running npm update on a Monday morning is basically playing Russian roulette with your entire codebase. You're sitting there all confident, thinking "I'll just update these dependencies real quick," while your coworkers watch in horror knowing exactly what's about to happen.

One second everything's fine, the next second you've got 47 breaking changes, your build fails, half your tests are red, and that one package decided to jump from version 2.1.4 to 87.0.0 because semantic versioning is apparently just a suggestion. Your coworkers have seen this movie before—they know the next 3 hours of your life will be spent in dependency hell trying to figure out why node-sass won't compile anymore.

Pro tip: Always run updates on Friday afternoon so you have the whole weekend to contemplate your life choices. Just kidding—never update on Friday. Or Monday. Actually, maybe just never update.
