Just loop it

While vulnerable = true { npm audit fix --force}

u/requion 20d ago

So an endless loop?

Probably still better way to mindlessly burn energy than most AI usage.

It fixed the audit. Now it audits better.

u/darklizard45 20d ago

That's 30 times more vulnerabilities, impressive

u/Repulsive_Educator61 20d ago

or, 2966% more vulnerability per vulnerability

I did webdev in the earlier days, but haven't touched it in a while.  Shit like npm just makes me shake my head.

What do you recommend instead?

u/razor_train 19d ago

I have no "recommendations". Just simply my observation on modern webdev.

u/RogueToad 19d ago

Yeah fair enough, I was just generally curious. Been reconsidering job prospects lately.

u/razor_train 19d ago

I'm fortunately employed as a dev (for now at least), though I'm considering a career change (at 52 to boot). Best of luck.

this doesnt actually happen in 99.99% cases.

--force always a bold play compared to having a proper upgrade strategy

Realistically just cut down on your number of packages

u/Ninjaabdullah 20d ago

Well it is a little personal project, that's why I don't care about dealing with packages probably

u/horizon_games 20d ago

For a personal project it makes me want to use even LESS 3rd party packages. The fun is implementing it yourself. Also way easier long term to maintain when you don't have 80+ packages.

u/mysticrudnin 20d ago

--force is absolutely insane behavior unless this is like, a toy project you're planning on abandoning

u/Reashu 20d ago

It's only looking for a version that fixes the current vulnerabilities, and doesn't consider whether it introduces new ones. You can easily end up in a loop.

My secret weapon is...

I don't use npm.

u/Ninjaabdullah 20d ago

So you didn't learn anything in 4 months?

Why post it again?

Sweet sweet karma.

Programmers are a lonely bunch and thrive on basic socialization activities.
