One of the biggest problems I have is the number of things I need to install at $EMPLOYER to make it all work. Typescript I can get approved because it's "Microsoft", but Node/NPM and Ruby? (for SASS) Not a chance - even if it could make it out of the NTLM-auth proxy.


Node/NPM is installed as part of Visual Studio 2015 these days, is it not?

Edit: Note I'm not saying you should install VS2015 just to get Node, but it might help you convincing the powers that be that "hey, Microsoft installs these components as part of VS2015, so it's not that weird, I promise".


Yeah - at the moment we don't have VS2015, but as long as that particular node.exe is signed with an MS certificiate it'll run fine.


Microsoft doesn't sign the node executable.... it is signed though (Node Foundation)
