Reading the output of some programs feels like wading through a room filled with fruit salad - the JS ecosystem is particularly bad in this regard. I&amp;#x27;m using red in my prompt to indicate a root shell and&amp;#x2F;or an SSH session, and I think that&amp;#x27;s as far as it should go.</text></comment>
