Why yes, you're right, poor code hygiene and poor documentation hygiene does matter. We finally agree.

It doesn't matter. The install was broken as was written. That's poor hygiene.

Brand new, clean install of npm.

Poor code + doc hygiene is the problem here.

The install errors out after following two basic install commands. This is poor code hygiene on the part of the authors. That's "not ready for primetime" in my book.

Doesn't seem ready for prime-time. I'll be impressed when it actually installs.

It’s not a good objection. It conveniently ignores the actual data.
