My corner of the web
I often see questions on what editor/IDE to use (see the difference between the two). My reasoning behind picking Sublime is simple. I used it at the beginning of my coding career. I got used to it and stuck with it for more than four years now.

Every npm project comes with node_modules folder after installation. It’s all nice and fancy while you’re working on the project, but what happens when you need to delete it?
Say you are moving repositories, renaming folders or just clearing up old stuff. If you are using Windows, chances are that you will get “path too long” or something along the lines.
Windows has 260 characters limit on path files and deleting so many nested folders is impossible with the “delete” function.
Ironically, you need another npm module for that. Now, in order to make it work, you need to have it installed globally. Run the following command:
npm install rimraf -g
After doing this you will have access to the command anywhere on the system. To delete the npm folder just run:
rimraf node_modules
See more on the package’s page.
Thanks to all this you can really feel like a Windows user 🙂 #nohate
