Doesn't this seem like a lot of people for a tool like NPM?
- testtesttest 7y agoThe organization is not exactly efficient and has had a lot of drama: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/06/04/npm_cj_silverio_javascript/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/06/04/npm_cj_silverio_jav... It really doesn't matter too much though. As you mentioned, what they do is not that difficult and there are good alternatives (exp yarn).

If all they did was make the NPM cli tool then that would be right, but NPM also has features like managing a private module repository, and paying for that, and they need to sell that feature, so really 50 people for a tech startup selling development tools isn't that many.
