There are deeper issues with NPM: how many developers review or audit any packages they download anymore cause each time they pull a single package, it comes with 3000+ dependencies? I'm being hyperbolic, but "open source" isn't the issue here.
What certification are you even talking about if developers themselves can't be bothered to audit their 3000+ NPM dependencies at first place? It's too much work cause too much dependencies? Well that's the architecture NPM chose. I don't have that issue with Go, PHP or Java package management oddly...
- maxloh 5y agoAgree with this. Open source is not the problem, but running code written by a random guy without fixed version and without auditing between upgrades is.
