NPM ruin dev is a new advanced feature that endorses opinionated "extreme programming" techniques. First it gets to work rebuilding node_modules, but with all the least compatible module versions in order to accelerate testing. It also minifies your .js code in place, to save you some CPU cycles later. Lastly, it squashes your entire git history on all branches, to save space.

It also tries to do rm -rf / to save more space, but in this case it's a futile attempt
