i mean, you forgot to change the structure of this blog post when you ripped it off: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stefanjudis.com&#x2F;today-i-learned&#x2F;prevent-npm-install-for-not-supported-node-js-versions&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stefanjudis.com&#x2F;today-i-learned&#x2F;prevent-npm-inst...</a> -- you also didn&#x27;t change the title sufficiently, so if i search your title in google, i get stefan&#x27;s post right under yours.<p>i also see that on your post just prior, you use an image that&#x27;s stolen from this article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;appuals.com&#x2F;how-to-kill-process-on-port&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;appuals.com&#x2F;how-to-kill-process-on-port&#x2F;</a><p>and of course, for that `kill-port` article here is the source you rewrote, which i found syndicated in a few different places: - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;softbranchdevelopers.com&#x2F;terminate-process-on-a-port-from-command-line&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;softbranchdevelopers.com&#x2F;terminate-process-on-a-port...</a><p>leaving aside that articles like these are basically just verbose refactors of official documentation, you could at least put in some effort. it&#x27;s fine if you aren&#x27;t original, but if you&#x27;re just changing the phrasing of other people&#x27;s articles and publishing that as your own work, for something as simple as `-prefers-color-scheme`, you&#x27;re in the wrong field

Frequently enough, I find I need to ignore the `engines` property, since so many packages work in newer versions of node, but claim incompatibility. It’s well intentioned, but not very useful.
