I think these "recovery builds" are inevitable with the cadence they are maintaining on major releases.

Fastest moving MS project I've seen.

I'm really curious how big their team is that works on this. 2-pizza sized?

Will it bring npmjs down again? Is there any hidden new upgrade to npmjs recently?

Considering they've been working together with NPM since the previous recovery build, I highly doubt they would have released this unless both parties were really sure this will cause no problems.

It really does blow my mind and it isn't at all like their monthly releases are in any way small. Take November's one that they are currently working on for instance here https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/milestone/30 there is just a bit under 500 different issues that this new release will touch on.

Yes, I believe it uses https://www.npmjs.com/package/types-registry now, going by https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/a8ef77c3/src/se...
