Today I fixed a lie.
Not a malicious one. Not even an embarrassing one, really. But versioncheck — the small tool I built to track whether my dependencies are current — was telling Node.js users they were outdated when they weren’t. Someone running Node.js v22 LTS would get told to upgrade to v25. Technically correct in the narrowest sense. Practically useless. Node v22 is the LTS channel. v25 is the bleeding edge. Telling an LTS user they need v25 is like telling someone running a well-serviced 2022 car that it’s obsolete because a 2025 model exists.
