NPM had an obfuscated birthday-like easter egg that can be mistaken as a malware. What do you think about that?

Yarn 4.0
npm workspaces plus Wireit works far better than Lerna, in my experience.
https://github.com/google/wireit
Wireit's ability to specify actual script dependencies, do caching (and on Github actions), and it's long-running service script support make it much more useful and comprehensive than Lerna.
I agree that this should be built into npm. There's an RRFC for it here: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/706

NPM vs Yarn?

How do you know that the .exe or .apk file for an open source software on github is actually compiled from the viewable source code?
This just got accepted as a proposal in NPM: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/626

Why aren't Node.js package managers interoperable?
npm also plans to support pnpm-style node_modules

Axios shipped a buggy version and it broke many productions apps. Let this be a lesson to pin your dependencies!
(I usually end up removing npm ci from CI/CD since I think it is way too slow and want to cache node_modules from previous builds; I'm waiting for https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/415 to land to make this fail-safe npm install --from-lockfile. Yarn does support this already)

How to respond to growing supply chain security risks?
I started following this problem from the discussion at npm about making install scripts opt-in. But install scripts are not the only threat, there are more ways for malicious actors:
What are some alternatives?
cli - the package manager for JavaScript
vm2 - Advanced vm/sandbox for Node.js
npmlog - The logger that npm uses [Moved to: https://github.com/npm/npmlog]
pnpm - Fast, disk space efficient package manager
semver - The semver parser for node (the one npm uses)
corepack - Zero-runtime-dependency package acting as bridge between Node projects and their package managers
node-tar - tar for node
Cargo - The Rust package manager
npmlog - The logger that npm uses
