Re: best way to build a web page app on ibm i using a CLI

...yeah, you're right of course, it is fairly static except when you update or install packages but I'm pretty sure even the build will be significantly slowed down by having the node_modules in the IFS, the IFS slow enough at the best of times. It's also occasionally necessary to delete it and rebuild, even locally it can take many minutes just to delete because it has tens of thousands of files in. I don't see any reason for it to be in the IFS or on any other network attached drive, it should be a local folder.

* Do not try to map your project folder to the IFS and store the
project there - it's wrong to do so and NPM will murder it!

Could you clarify what you mean by the NPM murdering it?

Steve mentioned in his OP the Netserver churn that occurred when he created
the project. But wouldn't that be a one-time event? After project creation,
wouldn't the development environment be relatively static?
