What kills me about Node is the org. They've controlled the Node binary for how many years now ... and for that entire time they have chosen a config format that sucks (JSON with no comments).
WHAT ENGINEER WORTH THEIR SALT DOES NOT WANT TO COMMENT THE CENTRAL CONFIGURATION FILE OF THEIR ENTIRE PROJECT?
You can have comments. If you are talking about the package.json file just create a new property named after your project and put whatever string you want in there.
It’s good to inform people that this hack exists and can work for some situations, but no, that’s not “having comments”. Not even close.
What makes that a hack?
That's a workaround, not a comment.
