Priorities.
Re: NPM Is Down
#14I've been wondering why we don't all have squid proxies setup for NPM or other centralized dependencies. When I run npm install, I'm hitting the local cache 99% of the time, so I'd imagine that it's a perfect use case and would let us all keep doing our job when this happens. Am I missing something?
No, you're not missing anything, besides that most people who do depend on NPM these days, do in fact run their own proxies as the registry does down so often. Verdaccio is the one I see being used in the wild most often. https://verdaccio.org/

Typically big orgs run jfrog artifactory caches (and get to enjoy down time when they break)

Huh, it must have been coincidental timing with the NPM outage recovering.
