Show HN: Nuño's Stupid Node Version Manager

The problem: Current node version managers, such as nvm or asdf are too slow. In particular, they add half a second to a few seconds when loaded with bash.

The solution: Write a stupidly simple node version manager which is significantly simpler, hackier, less featureful, and less secure, but much faster.

Nice work, and good on you for taking matters into your own hands.

I did the same thing as you a few years ago, and then shortly afterwards discovered n [0], which really ought to be the go-to for managing multiple versions of Node.js in my opinion.

Nice, thanks for the reference. Seems like the main bash script has 1.5k lines, which is still a lot, though much less than nvm.
