Tutorial doesn't actually work with Node 16

[wise gale]

If you do the tutorial steps to start developing with Convex with Node v16.10.0, you'll get an error:

npm run dev

> convex-tour-chat-0@0.0.0 predev
> convex dev --run init --until-success

/convex-tour-chat/node_modules/convex/dist/cli.bundle.cjs:129136
var retryingFetch = (0, import_fetch_retry.default)(fetch);
                                                    ^

ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

    at async Loader.import (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:178:24)

This error can be fixed by upgrading to a newer version of Node. It works fine with v22.12.0.

Why are u excactly using Node 16? Its support ended over a year ago. Wouldnt it make more sense for you using Node 22 or is there anything I miss here? https://endoflife.date/nodejs
