Andrew has been writing a ton of interesting blog posts related to package management (https://nesbitt.io/posts/ https://nesbitt.io/posts/). He's had some great ideas, like testing package managers similar to database Jepsen testing.

Like... what testing would you want to do if you were building a package manager?

- cbsmith 9mo agoYeah, I kind of understand the answers... and yet, it seems crazy. Just insane.
