    Github availability is driven by massive growth in the amount of work. I might add that is without a massive growth in the amount of accounts.. MS is struggling to make Github syst…

    Maybe NPM is scared to break a ton of packages? I also think action from NPM on the repo level is vital I went through the package.json on my machine - seems like ~400 / 60000 or 0…

    Yeah but with a flashing light, if you look during an "off" phase, you don't see anything for a little while. Animated would/could show one segment on always I'd like to orange tur…

    I found this: bun upgrade --canary ...will install a very recent build, with version 1.4.0 I still hope there is a beta release.

    pre- and post- install scripts should just be abolished. It should require a special dispensation from npm to even publish one. Yes, I choose to use pnpm but opt-in safety isn't go…

    I'm not sure any of the packages here would be part of a "better standard library". Do any language standard libraries have a "3 hours ago" formatter? Thats what timeago.js does Ma…
