It's an alias to start the upgrade to Windows 11... you thought you were being careful all those months dodging the Windows 11 upgrade button but you've done it now! Get ready for an objectively worse OS!
Did you get four hundred thousand viruses?

NPM ruin dev is a new advanced feature that endorses opinionated "extreme programming" techniques. First it gets to work rebuilding node_modules, but with all the least compatible module versions in order to accelerate testing. It also minifies your .js code in place, to save you some CPU cycles later. Lastly, it squashes your entire git history on all branches, to save space.
npm will ruin the dev now. It happened to me 11 months ago
Hope you didn't have the repository URL in your package.json... otherwise it'll be gone now.
npm ruin dev running shittier could be a nice prank... depending on how often it gets typed.
