When I search for problems with npm libraries and StackOverflow's answer is

"just downgrade the package to {VERSION} and it should work"

It makes me wanna die. How in the clusterfuck is that an acceptable solution?

    - "waaaah I only want the library once but the version isn't compatible"
    - "waaaah why does it have to install X different versions, so much bloat"
    Choose one

    This applies to package management everywhere, not only npm

    In my experience those dep problems r usually the fault of a big ol’ cluster package who a) doesn’t have their shit together or b) hasn’t been maintained in forever
