This!! The web apis are often designed for browsers and are not great for server and tooling use cases.

Where node.js’ approach is better, it’s ok to ignore web api

Sad that I will have to be suspicious of the people who tell me I look just like Ed Sheeran and how the love him. No I don’t have red hair. Yes this has happened to me more than a few times.

... Open source communities have been built on the assumption that contribution is personal and difficult. That there's a high bar that limits volume. We don't have the tools in place for anything other than that...

vlt v1.03 dropped with faster installs at every layer. 158x faster packument generation. A warm cache that skips the network entirely on your second install. Tarball extraction, parallelized. github.com/vltpkg/vltpk...

I am a big fan of building *on* existing systems over *replacing* them. I am still processing some of the stuff on semver.xyz, but I am a HUGE fan of the @vlt.io team's *approach* to engineering the future of package management.

Am I the only one who walks right in front of Waymo’s when it is unclear if I really had to ight of way (pretty sure I always do as a reasonable pedestrian)? They pretty much have to stop, and if they don’t…maybe I win a big lawsuit 🤣

I have regularly thought about this as a millennial. I feel like our gen is heavily impacted by the "we know what we lost" mentality and it makes sense that GenZ would feel like they missed even that last sliver of "before".

You can't improve what you don't measure. And measure, we do. 😉 A clean install runs up to 38% faster than npm, no change to your tooling required.

Excited to share vlt 1.0 along with our hosted registries & ecosystem mirrors now GA! A drop-in npm replacement, built so nothing runs on your machine just because you typed install. → faster delivery → malware blocking at the registry layer → graph-native querying

While I have spent the past 5 years doing the RV each summer, this was the first one that actually felt like a "summer vacation". - 2w off, sailing on Monterey Bay, campfires, Big Sur - 1w in the office - 1w at a work offsite - Golf trip with friends in MI - 1w doing RV repairs/clean & getting home

There is CSS... but what if I told you there is such a thing as DSS? Dependency Selector Syntax is an expressive DSL written as a homage to CSS. Use it to inspect malicious dependencies in your repo docs.vlt.io/cli/selector...

it is incredibly stupid to generate blog posts with llms anyone can output the same thing with the same prompts. If they’re interested in reading that, let them write the prompts. if it’s a writing skill issue on your end… failing at writing is how you get better at writing.

I’m in a Waymo right now, my second of the week, Waymo’s have the exact same problem that AI does. It means I don’t get to interact with any other humans. It’s isolating and lonely and worse for humanity.

Always glad to see folks talk about the main reason I find this new world we have created so distasteful. Call me crazy, but I think we *can* care about the human impact and also have new technologies.

🔐 A thing many people miss: Node.js trusts the code you install by default. So blocking npm install scripts closes one door and leaves another wide open, the one that opens when you require() the package. nodesource.com/blog/npm-v12...

Blocking Install Scripts Is Not a Silver Bullet

npm v12 blocks install scripts by default, but supply chain attacks won't disappear. Learn why runtime execution, the Node.js permission model, and sandboxing still matter.
