Node.js 22+ eliminates dotenv and nodemon

Node.js just made two popular npm packages unnecessary dotenv and nodemon. With the latest Node.js versions (22+), both features are now built-in: node --env-file=.env --watch server.js Loads environment variables from .env Automatically restarts on file changes No external dependencies needed Node.js is evolving faster, cleaner, and more efficient for modern backend development. This update will simplify how we start new projects in 2025 and beyond. #NodeJS #BackendDevelopment #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #Developers #TechNews #SoftwareEngineering

I personally use them but still mostly these built-in features are not used it seems like people still don't trust node.js about these features 😅
