The more I learn about how it imports external/third-party code [1] the more I like it. It's got none of the hangups of NPM. No package.json nonsense (there are great script runners if you need them), and no cruft when importing e

There is a gross amount of commenting as fact without accompanying data in the comments on this one.

Please provide data for that claim.

I maintain oodles of npm packages, several of which enjoy over 5 million weekly downloads. They have dependencies, and I cannot support your claims. Sure - some packages in the ecosystem will not follow semver, some will let breaking chan

Unless it isn't, as is the case with every offer I've signed since 2009 when I went full time remote.

With returns to third party sellers so difficult, I'm not sure why anyone would bother buying from them. I've yet to find a better price by a third party. Would like to hear some reasons why they were preferred for some purchases.

They're a great example of selling an audience a fast drip of Morphine. The original idea - music - was viable. This [1] is a fascinating study of how the switch happened. [1] https://www.dukeupress.edu/Assets/PubM

I remember when The Real World first dropped, and after a few weeks VJs spent more time talking about what happened rather than new music. I knew that was the beginning of the end.

Imagine being this persnickety about any use of a song that was relevant more than 30 years ago, and hasn't really been since.

This is a shame. I used that process quite a few times to pick up abandoned package and organization names. NPM really needs a plan to mitigate zombie packages if we can no longer petition for them. I can't tell from this Twitter threa

This is mass surveillance, there's just no way around it. The good intentions of this program will not be remembered when this is inevitably abused. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1423469854347169798

Perhaps the approach of vapid, pessimistic short-takes doesn't play well outside of Twitter, where folks aren't as impressed by blue checks and large followings, and where there isn't a benefit to jockeying for engagement. Ba

I don't believe that a prior thing which lacks a new advancement means the prior was a mistake or a failure. We're a creative species that strives for improvement. The first running shoe wasn't a mistake nor was it a failure.

I like the thought process here. In theory MINOR and PATCH are both supposed to be low risk. The risk only increases if the developer/process in control of the versioning doesn't recognize when a fix or feature contains a breaking

by andrew_ 5y ago
I'm not offended. I just think it's wrong to paint with such a wide brush. Breaking changes don't always mean that something was a mistake. They often mean a change in direction, and that can happen for a myriad of reasons. W

Agree totally. I recently accepted a position where an officer reached out to me, followed by a really great discussion with them. A call with two engineers and a team call later, I was offered, and we were all confident it was a great fit.

That's one thing that is unfortunate about pnpm - the methodology is superior in many ways, but there are a lot of tooling packages that don't consider symlinks for dependency resolution because npm and yarn are so prevalent.

by andrew_ 5y ago
I'm aware of symlink issues with React Native, but none from Vercel, Next, etc. The issue was more likely bundler related.

Forced peerDependency installations in v7 are a deal breaker for me. And as a package author, it's one of the more painful changes to NPM in recent times. Lest we forget the debacle the between prepare, install, prePublish and prePubli

Please, if you're downvoting this, share why. The replies here are full of valid anecdotal evidence for every package manager being mentioned, and they're all valid. If you feel this is invalid or poor content to be sharing, pleas

I manage several monorepos with PNPM's workspaces. One of which is an open source repo for a popular bundler which accumulates 100s of millions of weekly downloads. Another is internal and private that contains an entire organization&#

For my money, I'll take PNPM any day of the week. YMMV it's still faster than any version of Yarn or NPM hands down. https://pnpm.io/

To folks intimate with the situation: what's the likelihood that they weather this storm like recent, similar industry kerfuffles in companies like Coinbase or Basecamp, that they implode under bad PR, or fundamentally change culture?
