Node.js 22: No more dotenv and nodemon needed

Node.js just killed two of the most installed NPM packages. For years, every Node.js project started the same way — install dotenv to load your environment variables and nodemon to auto-reload on file changes. But those days are over. With Node.js 22 (and even more in 25), both features are now built directly into Node itself. - No extra packages. - No setup. - No boilerplate. You can now run your app with built-in support for environment files and live reloading — natively. A cleaner, faster, and dependency-free development flow. This update might look small, but it’s a huge step toward a simpler, more powerful Node.js ecosystem. 🚀 hashtag #NodeJS hashtag #JavaScript hashtag #WebDevelopment hashtag #Programming hashtag #FullStack hashtag #Backend

But still you can't re-read env in runtime?
