The code is literally right there for you. It doesn't matter what ecosystem or package manager. Someone could distribute the same thing anywhere — it's up to those pulling it in to actually start auditing what they're accepti

I gave up updating Nextcloud. It works for what I use it for and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I'd rather not spend 4+ hours updating and fixing confusing issues without any tangible benefit.

I definitely did pay attention to the description and the playground. The "full metrics" give more information, but they're still just numbers and don't explain to someone _what_ they should do to make something “better”

This is a bit underwhelming because it gives a score and says, "Needs improvement", but has no real indication of what it considers problematic about a file. Maybe as a very senior TypeScript developer it could be obvious how to f

Moom is an absolute crucial piece of software that I've gladly paid for upgrades to over time to support it. There's also BetterSnapTool, which I used to use, but I think switched to Moom for specific features at one point in time

I also just tried bun install in my main work monorepo vs yarn. bun took 12s and yarn took 15s. This is hardly a difference worth noting.

How often are you doing a full install of dependencies? Re-runs for me using npm/pnpm/yarn are 1-2 seconds at worst in very large monorepos. I can't imagine needing to do full installs on any sort frequency.

This is all well and good, but the time it takes to install node modules is not a critical blocker for any project that I've ever been a part of. It's a drop in the bucket compared to human (ability and time to complete changes) a

To add to my original thought here, most sites that people pick up on as "made with Tailwind" are that way because they tend to lack working with a designer to come up with an original design. These sites are often a single develo

What actually, as an end user, about pnpm is better than Yarn? I've never found an advantage with pnpm in all the times I've tried it. They seem very 1:1 to me, but Yarn edges it out thanks to it having a plugin system and its abi
