I tried, just last week, to install Gatsby, as I'm currently (and recurrently) deep in a twisty little maze of static website generators, trying to find the one that fits best with what I'm trying to do.
It broke. `npm install gatsby-cli` broke for utterly mysterious reasons[1] and, as I am not versed in the node ecosystem, the whole thing is just an indecipherable mess to me and I haven't the cycles to learn enough to debug it. So into the bin it went (and that's not /bin or even /usr/local/bin!)
How sad. It looked nice on the outside of the box, but the arrogant, insider-centricity of the node ecosystem made it unviable for any outsider. Far, far from the first time I've had that happen to me, and probably not the last.
