doesn't npm stands for node package manager?

Common misconception. https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/faq#if-npm-is-an-acronym-why-is-it-never-capitalized

oh interesting. That was fast! thanks

No problem...and honestly, I think it's a little bit precious on part of the npm folks. There's some tradition there (see PHP and Gnu), but it's kind of a silly tradition. Programmers just trying to be ridiculous.

I see, those silly things keep it fun :)
